The Great Indicator Conspiracy

The thing is, if you use your indicator you'll let people know what you're doing - obviously a big no no. They might want to do it too, and you're the one who thought of it first. Why should anyone else take the glory?!
So the trick is to pull out at the last minute, without any warning whatsoever - the later the better. And of course if you see some idiot indicating his intentions, try at all costs to stop him from doing whatever it is he wants to do. 
Does he want to change lanes? Speed up - don't let him!
Does he want to pull out onto the main road? Flash your headlights, speed up and stare menacingly at him.
Is he thinking of turning left? Honk and make him change his mind.
Last, but not least, watch the big lorry drivers, for they are the all-knowing when it comes to driving etiquette - just watch them in action on the Emirates Road, any day, any time. Restricted hours? Pfah I say to your restricted hours! 80km/hr? Hah - not me! Right lane only - fine, but everyone else get out of my way or I'll drive right over the top of you.. A great hint I picked up the other day on Wasit Road; indicate left and then when all traffic has slowed down to let your great hulking mass turn into the middle lane, turn right onto a slip-road and disappear off, laughing at all the frustrated drivers in your wake.... Mwa ha harrr!
