When I indicate to change a lane, I am not asking your permisson to enter ''your'' lane, I am letting you know that I am going to enter your lane.It is cutomary to let me in ,not speed up so that i miss my turnoff,yes I'm talking to you ,the driver of a blue Ipsum( or something equally as dull ) ,in Redwood ,chch on Wednesday evening.

+1.
Were you trying to make up spaces and push into the turning off lane at the last minute rather than queue up with all the plebs!

Maybe if people used the right lane(s) for overtaking and then pulled back left again, we'd all be in the correct lane all of the time.
Its a Kiwi thing.

You are only showing an intent, it is still your responsibility to make sure the lane is clear before you move. Insurance companies don't allow the excuse "but he was indicating"

Next time be in the lane you intend to turn from earlier on OK.quite simple really.last minute lane changes are dicey at the best of times due to exactly what you experienced.

Had a similar thing happen to me this afternoon. But for me it was the other guy who was wanting to merge across from the right lane.
The other guy's rear bumper was actually ahead of my front fender when he began indicating that he wanted to merge left. I was staring at his rear left tail blinker through my front windscreen at the time.
I lift off the gas because I presume he's going to merge ahead of me. But NO he/she/the chimpanzee driving begins to slow down. WTF.
We are both traveling at the same reduced speed now, and he's not speeding up any. So at this point I take it that he intends for me to pass him. So I put my foot back onto the throttle with the intention to do just that.
So I'm almost at his side coming up to overtake when he flogs the gas, cuts in front of me just in time to make his left-hand exit.
So let's get this straight. Simply because some joker didn't change lanes when he had the cnance to, leaving it to the last minute and thus deciding to force his way in. an accident could have happened, two lanes of traffic got held up, and I was given a honking. Does that sound right!

my advice which i'm sure your not looking for , as i think your just venting your frustration , is to get into the lane well before you have to take drastic measures.
from your post it makes me think your the type to speed up to 'line cut' everyone , those type of people will always get that kind of treatment from me

My advise is buy a tank. I find that everybody lets me in with not too much of an arguement and people are usually very courteous.

+1 you sound the like sort that weaves in out of lanes on the motorway because the traffic is not going fast enough for your liking. Simple be in the right lane, dont try move 3 lanes over, I see it time and time again. Or perhaps try moving into a proper sized gap without making the other drive brake and alter his speed and following distance.

Guarantee he/she didn't even look to see if anyone(you) were close by before deciding to change lanes .observation is the name of the game and NZders at hellish poor at it might I say!
