“…Immanent threat of death or grievous bodily harm…” So I suppose once they’ve changed lanes it’s too late and before they do it’s too early.
That must be why folks that don’t signal shift lanes with such tenacity, keep that immanency window brief to keep their hazard from bicyclists to a minimum.
Even though lane changes without signals are a sure sing of a mindless motorist and douchebag driver, traffic is neither, nor should be, an arms race.

In Buddharakkhita’s translation this is:
Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.
In Thanissaro’s version this is:
Hostilities aren’t stilled through hostility, regardless.
Hostilities are stilled through non-hostility: this, an unending truth.
“… an arms race….”
Nah, bicycling is more about leg strength.
Want an arms race, take up kayaking 😉
