    Yep. There’s a maneuver I call “the Atlanta special” which is where you signal in one direction, and slow down a little, and then you floor the accelerator and speed off in the opposite direction to the one you’re indicating.

    Bonus points if it’s to get a single car length ahead in slow traffic approaching an already red light.

    I see it at least once a week.

    Couple of weeks ago I saw it three different times in a single rush hour commute.
