Up here, you don't dare signal before the car is actually in motion. You signal as you move, and only in an attempt to satisfy legal requirements. If you signal so as to indication an intention, everyone will bunch up so as to prevent you from changing lanes. After all, if you wanted to be in a different lane, you should have started out in that lane.

I certainly understand that mentality since, as someone who does signal religiously, I do get cut off constantly as a result (especially in OC where it's worse than LA). But if you take the non-signaling tack, you're absolutely loony if you get indignant at someone who doesn't make room for you when they can't possibly know what you're doing.
