When I had looked in my rearview, he was aleady in my blind spot. Had I not looked right as I began to change lanes, I and my family would have most certainly been seriously injured, if not killed.

this is an excellent point. i ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS look over my shoulder before switching lanes. people blindly rely on their mirrors way too much. i cringe when i think about how many people just quickly check their mirror and start drifting on over, oblivious to the potential danger. luckily, i'm very aware of the problem and have an uncanny ability to tell when someone's about to do it to me.
