He didn't have to cut off anyone, there was enough room to pull an aircraft carrier in front of the truck. If you're far enough ahead for the truck to see your blinky, it's not a problem IF YOU DON"T SLOW DOWN. The trouble comes when they pass the truck, pull in then slow to a speed slower than the truck is traveling. It's stupid, dangerous and very very rude.

A guy was telling me how he always uses his blinkys, always gives the passed vehicle plenty of room, doesn't travel more than 5 over, and just loves his cruise control which he uses all the time. When he comes up on a truck doing 5 less than he is he just puts on his blinky, changes lanes, and when well past the truck puts on the blinky and moves back.

I told him passing that truck with a 5 mph differential, just tied up the left lane for 15 fucking miles. He said, so? He's lucky there were several witnesses including two cops. I couldn't even yell at him in case I got a chance to dismember him later.
