In this picture, the dishonest cheaters took advantage of the fact that a rescue ambulance was speeding through with sirens by grouping into at least 40 cars and following the ambulance, passing the law abiders in the right lane. Later, a few of them were seen speaking with police officers up the road. Let's hope they got what they deserved :P

Constantly during the evacuation, on two-way highways, people would take over the other lanes, causing some head-on collisions. Even if the "cutters" didn't get in a wreck or cause one, they still ultimately slowed the flow of traffic because they had to merge back into the right lane at some point and others were forced to allow them pass. The general attitude towards these cheaters was very hostile (from both directions of traffic). Curses and car-to-car hand signals (see w:middle finger) were exchanged. The cars would form in convoys, usually led by an especially heavy duty vehicle, such as an eighteen-wheeler, or a 4x4 truck at least, to ensure that if they got in a collision, casualties would be minimum for their side (this was not the case for the people who wrecked into them). Additionally, alliances were formed, between the many periods with no movement, to stop the cheaters and cars would make plans to swirve in front of people who tried to pass or not let them through when they tried to merge (often causing an accident, or at least causing a backup in the lane of oncoming traffic), or to occupy the shoulder as well as the lane as a way of not letting them cut.
