Traffic jams are the most frustrating aspect of modern motorways.

Cars are great, but not when you’re crawling through a soul-sapping queue.

Motorbikes always appear smug in these situations – what with their nimble frames that allow them to duck in and out of gaps with glee. Well, now the car is fighting back. Sort of.

Captured on a dashcam, we can see the traffic slow ahead. An unavoidable queue, surely?

Not so, as from the left appears a tiny hatchback riding the central reservation, which allows it to sneak past.

It’s completely illegal, of course, but we can’t fault the ingenuity.
