I don 't think they are pulling anyones leg. That is exactly what happens.
If you put on the signal so you can move over to the exit, people in that
lane speed up so you can't get over. SWMBO is from LA County and told me
before we went there on vacation, warned me about the drivers. In the past
couple years I have spent a number of times in LA and San Diego and it is
just as has been described here. After the first trip I have learned that I
need to rent a big fast vehicle just to survive. The 5 between LA and SD
and the Santa Monica Frwy have been the worse. I saw similar agression in
San Fransisco, San Jose and Pleasanton. Not so bad in Sacremento or Santa
Barbara, and I have always found the drive from Malibu to Ventura to be fun.
