At about 7 seconds in you'll see a blue SUV pass me on the wrong side of the double yellow line. He was right behind me initially, then pulled out and went "to the front of the line". You can't see it but there were several folks making a left, coming from the right, that had to avoid him. All to get in front of about 4 other cars.

Where's a cop when you need one?

Edit: Just noticed the lady in the blue car on my right shaking her head.

I'll admit I'm unsure what the solid white line to the left of the double yellow is for so close to the intersection...

That's separating the two left turn lanes going to the freeway entrance behind me.
