Some (explitive deleted) in an SUV messing up commute traffic by cutting over from the exit-only lane into through traffic at the last possible moment.
"No cuts!" is a common protest by school children, when a kid cheats by cutting into line instead of taking their place at the end.

I haven´t seen this image before since I didn´t vote in this challenge but to be honest I probably would have given it a 4, mainly since the image quality isn´t terribly good and the whole shot has a "snapshot feel" to it. I assume it´s mostly because you shot this through the front window, frankly it shows as the whole shot is a bit "muddy" for lack of a better word. No idea on how to improve that though, wouldn´t wanna suggest you stick your head out the window for photography while driving :D
I am not really fond of the cool WB, I personally would have liked this more if it were slightly more neutral, BUT, it does make the taillights stand out more so if that was your reasoning then it worked very well.
Exposure is a little dark but kindof fits the shot so no qualms about that. Composition isn´t bad at all but not really interesting either, hard to see how you could have improved that though sitting behind the wheel.
Certainly meets the challenge but I am not really familiar with american lingo I didn´t get it at first so for me personally it wasn´t obvious that it referred to the jeep crossing the line to enter another lane (I assume that is what point of the shot is, please keep in mind that english is only my third language)
Ha, great capture! Hope you didn't get into an accident in trying to get this shot. :-) Great focus and DOF for a moving picture (even if moving slowly). I would have tried to remove some of the blue-ness of the picture in PS.
Thanks -- not quite! I'd guess we were moving between 15-25 mph at the time -- people perform this stunt regularly at this location, so I was somewhat prepared for it, although I couldn't stage it for them to cut in front of me.
It was a little tricky as I had to hold the camera well off to the side to shoot around the Acura. The color is actually pretty much the way it looked -- this was right around sunrise on the shaded side of the hills.
It looks too... snapshotty. For this challenge, the foreground object should have been that jeep trying to cut in. This looks just like something taken out through the windshield.
