I did an experiment! Use to go to work on a packed city streets in Phoenix, AZ for many years. On one locat1on I would be in the 3rd lane where it merged into 2 lanes. 100% of time when I used my signal (which did work) to get over, NO ONE WOULD LET ME IN! BUT, whenever I would roll down my window and signal using my "arm signal" (legitimate arm signal) 99% of people would go out of their way to let me in.
Conclusion: People don't see a steel box with wheels as a "person" or a "human". It is simply as it is. A non-caring piece of steel with no feelings. Are you nice to your vacuum or your table saw?
