Speed Check
When a driver is trying to merge into the next lane, while the driver behind notices your indicator when you're trying to move in. The other driver aggressively accelerates to block the driver from merging in the first place. Also known as an aggressive driver move to scare the merging driver or denying entry.
This jerk speed checked me just as I was moving into the next lane.
