Next time, Cube (just can't get used to it yet, give me a little more time)..... STAY ON THE GAS! Oh, and hope the other guy's brakes work... hehehe

I know, each situation is different, but if I'm committed to switching lanes... I go. Most of the time, the car that is in my blind spot (thats a rare term to use with the SVX) is not actually there when I first check my mirrors, but usually is someone motoring up the left lane, that I think is moving slower than they actually are.

ps... very glad that nothing horrific happened
