If you need to change lane, first use your mirrors and if necessary take a
quick sideways glance to make sure you will not force another road user to
change course or speed. When it is safe to do so, signal to indicate your
intentions to other road users and when clear, move over.

I'm sure that is equally applicable to traffic a quarter of a mile away with excessive speed. You're right and I'm wrong. I best not get caught then cos I'm not going to abide by that one in every situation.
