Re: WARNING new Calif. driving technique

[David Christman <dpc@ai.mit.edu>]

Sounds more like "old Boston driving technique".  20 years ago I was
impressed by how courteous CA driver were.  The times they are a changing...

"On my last trip to the SF bay area I learned a new trick for changing lanes on 
busy freeways.  What they do is make a quick flick towards your lane like their 
comming over without looking,  when you slam on your brakes then they do change 
lanes in the gap you left with your smoking 4 wheel brake lock-up.  Happened 
three times, the first two got away with it, but the third I left sideways on 
101 at Army St.  I'd tell you how that happened but then it wouldn't work for 
me anymore!
