In fact, spastic lane-changing has the opposite effect. I study this phenomenon every day. As I stay in one lane, that being the lane from which I will eventually have to turn, and maintain a safe, respectable distance from the car in front of me, I observe the most aggressive lane-changer/tail-gater as they attempt to ram their way through traffic. As I make my way across town, I watch as each of their maneuvers backfires and they end up way back in traffic, and madder than ever.
