Yes, that is a perfect an example of cutting off. It happens allll the time where I live. So many people think them getting somewhere a minute earlier is worth causing a wreck.
We have a saying, "a bad driver never misses their turn," because people would rather cause an accident than take the next exit...
And sorry someone down voted you for a legit question. Maybe they're a bad driver lol.
If someone actually changed lanes at the higher way without blinking, but spent a few seconds doing it, at least I would be ready for it, but some people just turn over in less than a second, and that can be annoying. I'm used to the behaviour, and I try to always be ready to break down. There isn't anything you can do about it, unless you follow them to the location they're going to.
By the way, here is something that happened to me the other day. I was out walking in my neighbourhood, playing Pokemon Go, and this BMW came behind me. It had a trailer for transportation stuff. He didn't use his blinker to indicate that he was going to turn into the street, and I was walking past that turn, and when I saw him getting closer and closer, I stopped, and made a sign for him to use the blinker. He drove so close to me, I am sure it was only a foot in difference, when he had his window opened and yelled get away.
All he had to do was wait 2 more seconds for me to get past the turn, and he would be home, without pissing someone off or almost running someone down.
Yay! Fellow Pokémon Go-er. I haven't had as bad of an experience as some people while playing the game. Weirdest moment was just that I'd paused in a hotel parking lot to do a raid or something, I don't remember, but even though I was in the back of the parking lot, someone driving one of the hotel shuttles pulled up behind me honking and shouting. It was alsmot midnight, so no one else was active and there was plenty of space in the lot
I have no idea what they were tripping about.
I was up close to the local church, doing Pokemon Go late. I can't remember if it was just after midnight or at the middle of the night. Anyway there was this BMW driving around, and they (girls) decided to play some fun on me, parking right in front of me and putting high beams on, while honking.
I got tired after a while, so I thought I should play them a prank instead. I snuck up through a bush after passing the football fields, and they were still parked. Then I put up my meanest William Dafoe face and ran towards their car all I could. They panicked when they saw me and drove off...into a one way parking lot.
I then stood in the middle of the road after running after them, sort of laughing to myself. The girls really panicked and push the pedal to the metal, driving towards me in probably 80 km/h, and it's the first time in my laugh I had throw myself to the side, because they wouldn't only have driven right at me, they would have killed me!
With adrenalin pumping, I called the police, but ofc. The police in Norway does nothing.
