I hit that sort of situation in high traffic situations from time to time.

I remember one particular instance, I was having to go to work one Fri or Sat night. I was downtown where there were 4 one-way lanes crossing 4 other one-way lanes. I was in the 3rd lane from the left with the cross traffic going right to left. A bunch of those folks had the entire intersection blocked while were waiting to turn into a parking garage to go to a play. The light turned green for us and they still had all 4 lanes blocked. The car in front of me looked like it was a couple in their 50s or 60s (old enough to know better, wait outside of the intersection). So when the light turned, I pulled the front of my car right up to the driver's door of their car. The old man gave me a dirty look and a gesture to convey "I can't go anywhere! It's not my fault!"

There are days when it's really good that I don't drive something like this...
