Dangerous driving: "queue de poisson" in Japanese?


How to call it when a vehicle that just passed you gets back in lane too
early, forcing you to brake, or even causing an accident?

See this [Diagram](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Queue-
de-poisson.svg).

This can also happen when a vehicle overtakes and then decide to turn very
soon afterwards, cutting your way.

In French it is called [queue de
poisson](https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/queue_de_poisson).

It is DIFFERENT from "fishtail". Fishtail is when a vehicle loses control due
to an obstacle, "queue de poisson" usually does not involve losing control,
just braking in a straight line, in most cases. Fishtail can be had alone,
"queue de poisson" can't happen with less than 2 vehicles.




If it's just the phrasal verb "to cut off" in general, 割り込む works pretty well
as its general translation. Its noun version is 割り込み. If you want to make it
clear that someone cut you off dangerously close or suddenly, 無理 and 急
collocate very well. So, for example, in the noun case, 無理な割り込み sounds very
natural, and in the verb case, 急に割り込まれる sounds fine.
