This is quite interesting. How many people will respond with, "No way; you wait in the line just like everybody else". Maybe here in NY, but, in other places? Probably get away with this BS 90% of the time.

Or, if there is a line of cars waiting for an exit ramp, you just pass all of them and at the last possible point, where it is make or break, you make a dive for the line and intimidate someone, or cutoff a truck and get into the line. No waiting for you. You are too important to wait on a line.
