On two occasions now I've been sitting in a queue of, say 8-10 cars, in a narrow-ish single lane road in London waiting for the lights ahead to change when a car has raced past me, fully using the on-coming lane, and stuck its nose in front of the lead car at the lights, at an angle of 45%. Then roared off as soon as the lights turned amber
It was what you usually see pizza delivery bikes doing as they filter down the outside of the traffic, but a car - at speed?
It was so brazen it took my breath away. I mean the sheer arrogance and disrespect of others that such a barefaced bit of driving illustrates just leaves me speechless!
And I thought I couldn't be surprised by anything on the road nowadays...

I remember being one of the people sitting in a queue like that when a car did or tried to do just as described. The driver of the 32 ton tipper coming the other way had other ideas though and the original queue jumper then had to reverse past all the jumped cars and more! Made me laugh though
