The maneuver for the day today was the attempted right-hook.

My commute has several RTOLs that split off from straight-thru lanes. This morning at least a half-dozen drivers accelerated to pass me on the left so they could then bear to the right to get in the RTOL.

I could understand the first one who did it, as I was still just approaching the RTOL; he may have saved himself 0.1 seconds with this move. But the other ones all did it at points where they should already have been in the RTOL. I can only think they all saw the first guy do it and thought, "Oh, that must be the correct way to get to the right of a cyclist."

Frigging sheep.
