The greatest hazard to navigating are the New York drivers, ...

Yep! Also note, New Yorkers are not required to signal lane changes, New Jerseyans signal after the fact and only out-of-staters signal before changing lanes. That was my experience so it must be in the NJ driver's manual.

In Texas turn signals are a suggestion... the driver is thinking of going left or right but haven’t made up his mind yet. /s

“required to signal lane changes”

Unfortunately, just like folks blocking left lanes, there are folks that zoom up and block your path when you signal. It’s much more common in urban areas. In those places, signalling will typically prevent you from getting where you need to go so folks are “trained” to signal only when someone else can’t do anything about it.

I put those type of “blockers” in the same category as the left lane folks since, when I’ve tried to pass such folks on the right, most of the time they speed up. Some outright flooring it to prevent me from getting ahead of them.

Or in the town where my father lives. Coming back from breakfast out one morning he drove 35-40 on a 55 four lane for 8 miles.
