The question is, can you always spot them. I seem to always be able to
spot the idiopt that's going to go for that last second lane change. I
consider myself lucky. Now as for his counterpart, the "exit passer" If I
can, I don't let him in. Afterall, he's in the exit lane. i see it in
Downtown Seattle and I've pissed off a few of those boneheads. I just
smile and wave.

(actually does fall into the category of aggressive driver, I just try to
be polite about it)
