If I ignore you, you don't exist

While driving in Chicago and Berkeley recently, I realized that there is a new way to violate my right of way and rudely push your way into my lane.  The new way, ignore me, pretend I don't exist and then just turn in front of me or crowd in front of the line.    It's truly amazing how often this happens whether I am a passenger or driving, I know that if the person ignores me that I'd better back off or I may get hit, so ignoring me gets them where they want to be.

I suppose its the same as ignoring the dishes, if I ignore them then it won't bother me that they stack up.  If I ignore the mess on my desk, then I don't have to work.  If I ignore the driver next to me, then I know I have all the room to maneuver, make turns and generally have command of the roadway.   

Is ignore any relation to ignorance?   Oh well, my rant for the day!!
