You should move to the Phoenix area; drivers here are horrible about this. In order to avoid it, most drivers tailgate the car (or bike) in front of them so there's not enough room for a car to squeeze in. I try to ride with plenty of room in front of me and just keep an eye on the cars that might try to cut me off. Most of the roads around here are three lanes both ways, so if you're in the middle lane you have to watch everyone around you VERY closely and be prepared for it. There's also the times when the third (far right) lane ends and the road narrows to two lanes; cars will speed through the lane that ends in order to get in front of the traffic in the lane they're supposed to merge with and then slam on their brakes to avoid hitting the car in front of them.
