Reply To: Driving in the left lane at the speed limit

Cutting off a car requires that car to apply the brakes to avoid hitting you.

How is the passing driver to know whether the other car that he’s passing will apply the brakes, thus making it an inappropriate “cutting off”, or not, thus making it an appropriate pass?

CTL: Why would someone cut off a car rather than pass/overtake it?

Also, often in urban areas when you signal an intention to pass the other driver will use that advance knowledge from your signalling to prevent you’re ability to safely pass/overtake him. Thus causing drivers to pass without signalling advance intent.
