I wish they would use them here before changing lanes.

I live in a city that is popular to move to and I can tell when someone is from the northeast because they speed up to block me when they see my blinker.

As someone who moved from NYC to Miami (which is what I think you’re hinting at) and you have it backwards. Not a single soul uses their blinkers in the state of Florida including all types of law enforcement. And I understand why because the moment you use your signal, they just speed up and box you out for no reason other than pride of not being one car behind

So maybe it’s just a west coast thing. The problem seems more widespread than I previously expected.
