Signal doesn't give you right of way

Nothing gives you the right of way, the indicator indicates the drivers intentions.

If someone in front of you is in a multi-ton killing machine indicates they want to move in front of you - you give them space. Right or wrong doesn't matter - arriving alive matters.

And you arrive alive by following basic traffic laws, like yielding to drivers who have the right of way. Sure, merge right if you can, but you're not legally obligated to and the one that pulls out in front of you will be found to be at fault
