I also believe that Winnipeggers don't like allowing vehicles to cut in front of them due to the amount of traffic lights on our "expressways"...the one car you let in front of you can literally make the difference whether you get through that light up ahead or not. A good example being the SB Pembina to EB Bishop loop during rush hour, if as part of eastbound traffic on Bishop, you let a driver in off that loop, good chance it will cause you an red extra light cycle at that dumb intersection with River.
Places with proper free flowing expressways, this is not a concern so letting cars cut in front of you makes little to no difference to your commute.
