A driver's sneaky trick to avoid traffic queues has sparked anger online. A video was shared showing how he skips the queue on busy roads. The clip, captioned "I've seen this happen too many times IRL [in real life]," shows a bustling highway from the viewpoint of a car driving along it.
A voice, likely the driver's, can be heard saying: "I'm going to teach you one more thing, y'all. You gotta act like you're turning right, but when you get to the front you act like you're turning this way, you get past everybody."
The car eventually reaches near the front of the queue waiting at red traffic lights. He continues: "Soon you see a little opening and you get right on. You feel me. Now you're at the front. You've got to be prepared for that opening and get right in, man."
As he speaks, the car quickly slips in behind a white car and is now third in line at the lights. The video on Reddit, shared by 'Speak Your Mind Podcast', triggered hundreds of angry responses from other drivers who were not pleased with this driving trick.

One person said: "My wife hates that I block people out and absolutely refuse to allow last-minute cut-ins. I do this in several places and I will NOT give in," Another replied: "My wife always makes up scenarios to explain why they may be doing it. 'Maybe they've never been here before!' 'Maybe they're sick and need to get to the hospital!' Maybe. But most of the time they're just an a*****e, and I'm doing everything I can to make sure they don't get in."
Another person shared: "As I get older I realize how reckless and stupid, bad driving is." Someone else mentioned that such actions could be risky and cause accidents: "Years ago I was stuck in an accident-induced back-up on a long curve. As always multiple people decided to break the law and try to cause more accidents by driving down the shoulder, then forcing their way back in. Joyfully came around the curve to see a state trooper waving the miscreants off into a waiting area."
Yet, some people are okay with taking traffic shortcuts, as one commented: "I got no problem with this if done successfully. If you're blocking traffic at a failed attempt then haha ima honk at u," and another said: "You can do this so long as you don't cross the solid white line. If you merge seamlessly then you really haven't impeded traffic."
