Squeezing through a gap in stationary or even moving traffic is certainly tempting, but as these two incidents in eastern Europe make clear, the risk is rarely worth it.

In the Romanian capital Bucharest on 3 August this year, an Audi decides to squeeze through a gap in traffic.

There were three rows of cars all heading in the same direction. Two of those rows were stationary and the Audi could get past but the third lane was empty and had a car travelling quickly along it -- straight into the front of the Audi, who should have been paying more attention.

In another clip, filmed way back in February 2015 in Prague the Czech Republic, a Skoda Octavia was sat at a junction, and the filmer was driving straight forward.

The driver of the Octavia apparently thought it was both legal and a good idea to pull out right in front of the filmer, and do so slowly even though the filmer was moving fast.

It was not a good idea. Both cars were badly smashed, the filmer's girlfriend, who was in the car, had cuts to her lip, and the Skoda driver had a few scratches on his forehead.

An audi decides to turn left and tries to test his luck by squeezing through the gap in traffic. There were 3 rows of cars all heading forward, and the audi tried to get past one at a time. The cars in the first two rows stopped and the audi passed through, but then the audi tried to pass through the third lane as a car drove past resulting in the audi driving directly into the side of the car.

A Skoda Octavia was sat at a junction, and the filmer was driving straight forward. According to the rules of the road, the filmer should have right of way in this scenario and such should have been able to travel forward. Instead the Skoda was careless and pulled out in front of the filmer causing a rough collision. The filmers girlfriend had cuts to her lip, and the Skoda driver had a few scratches on his forehead, but both parties were fine besides these minor injuries. Both cars however were unfortunately totalled but were paid for by insurance.
