This PSA brought to you by several would-be assassins who tried to wave me in front of speeding cars in the last month and who will have to try harder next time.

This happened to me, I was the fast car. Here's the dash cam video: https://streamable.com/q98ojg
I've got several years of experience riding motorcycles. It's taught me to read traffic. I see a gap in a line of traffic like that, it's either a driver who's smart enough not to block an intersection (rare), or someone letting another someone out.
When I saw the gap I started watching it closely. I probably wouldn't have been able react fast enough otherwise.
