That being said, I don't cut people off (making them slow down), I always signal, I keep my ass right, am all over my mirrors/blind spots, etc.

IMHO, the world could stand some more aggressive or -bad- drivers. Each year it seems the roads get more and more clogged with people trying to do anything but drive, totally oblivious to the fact that they are impeeding traffic flow.
That's basically how I drive as well, although traffic simulations seem to suggest that people like us actually slow down the overall traffic flow by making sudden moves, even if we don't explicitly cut people off.

Oh well. I just can't resist a gap in traffic, so there.
