road hog
Won't move over
A road hog is a driver who monopolizes the road—taking up more than their share of space, refusing to let others pass, or driving aggressively without regard for fellow motorists.
The term borrows from the animal's reputation for greedy, inconsiderate behavior: Some road hog in an SUV wouldn't let me merge.
