I have followed the discussion on left line hoggers for a while. 
What surprises me is that nobody has mentioned MY version of the
worst problem in driving: 

I believe the term is "cut through in front of you". In most 
cases, i have to slam the brakes. It only happens on crowded 
places, with speeds around 35-45 mph. The jerk will see a hole 
and without any signals, will cut in front of me. If the 1/2 jerk
puts signals, it is usually AFTER doing it and looks sympathetic
when I honk with all the power of my whistles. 

The funny thing is that I get 1-2 every day when i drive my little
bitty Toyota (72 corrola). But it only drops to 1-2 A MONTH with 
my fiance's Olds Delta 88 Royale monster. I guess people are 
afraid of it and leave all kinds of distance, signals, etc. The
worst thing is that if an accident happens, the friendly police 
and insurance companies will consider it my fault since I hit from
behind.....

Any comments, netpeople?
