Every time you think you’ve seen a motorist do something so egregiously wrong, another comes along. On Friday, in Queens, New York, a cab driver decided to use the bike lane as a way to skip traffic.

Look how fast this parking officer can give tickets to cars in bike lanes

A cyclist filmed the event, as they headed toward the cab. The move was even more obnoxious as there are bollards lining the bike path, so the cabbie must have entered at an intersection and just motored away. By the time the cyclist voiced their outrage, the taxi driver went one step further, mounting the curb like Jim Gordon and the Gotham PD in The Dark Knight car chase scene.

 

According to a post on Reddit, a complaint has been sent to the New York City cab commission, but it’s unclear if the driver has been disciplined.
