I passed "NASTY M5" for a little while, and I'm about to signal left when he/she rockets past me.

It then becomes an awkward situation because we're both waiting to turn left at a red light. Once the light became green, he/she shot out of the turn leaving a trail of rubber behind and turned right into the upper-class part of the suburbs while I continued straight with my friends congratulating my fail.

Had I known it was an M5, I would've just waited until he/she passed me to switch lanes.
