First, only if you allow 'it' to cut successfully in front of you and THEN
run into 'it' will you be judged at fault.  You therefore have two options:
Run into 'it' WHILE 'it' IS STILL CHANGING LANES (the insurance company will
find 'it' at fault since 'it' was changing lanes; slow down as fast as
possible to give yourself the necessary new clearance.

The first option may seem a little harsh, but sometimes....

Secondly, note that when people DO use their directionals properly, for the
most part, all it does is warn the person to his/her left/right so that they
can speed up and block the move.  This happened to me so consistently on
the SouthEast Expressway (Boston, MA) that I have given up using directionals
on ANY expressway.  I still DO use them on local roads.
