Because Americans strive to be "#1", and that if means racing forward 10
feet, and then having to hit your brakes to keep #2 from getting in front of
you and making you get to your destination .25 seconds later, then so be it.
That said, I always use my signal when I intend to change lanes, and I find
that more often than not, people (even here in Chicago) tend to let me in.
I'd say it happens less than 25% of the time where someone speeds up to keep
me from merging or changing lanes. Then again, I've never driven in
California or Boston where I hear drivers are pretty uptight and "intense".

Are you lot saying that if you indicate that you want to do something on
the road, pull over, turn right or left, move into another lane, someone
will stop you doing it? why?
