Car Chase meets Roof Hopping. The pursued character is getting away along a highway in a car or on a bike and the pursuer, lacking equivalent transportation, hops across multiple car hoods to close in on them. Explosions may be involved.
Sometimes the character slides over the hood for the extra cool factor.
See also Outside Ride.

Homura has to do one of these in Episode 6 of Puella Magi Madoka Magica in order to retrieve Sayaka's Soul Gem from a speeding truck, which Madoka had thrown over the bridge in an attempt to stop the former's fight with Kyoko.

Robin:
At one point when Tim and Ted Grant are chasing a gang of car thieves they launch themselves across the rooftops of the cars on a congested Gotham interstate. Tim notes how ridiculously dangerous it is, especially when they start getting shot at.
Tim hops from the trunk lid of one car onto the hood of the semi Riot Act stole, then hitches a ride on the roof of another car to catch back up after he has to flip out of the way of Riot's attempt to shoot him in the face.

Schlock Mercenary:
Kathryn is a practitioner of Parkata Urbatsu, and tries this at one point on a bunch of Flying Cars. Except the self-driving algorithms are so tight she can't even touch them.
Schlock does it later, with much more success. It helps that he wasn't wearing a flight belt; the cars avoid fliers like Kathryn to prevent injuries, but they try to rescue free-fallers.

A non-moving example: In an episode of Quantum Leap, Sam leaps into the body of Dr. Ruth Westheimer. During the climax, he is trying to stop a woman from being murdered, and the taxi he's in gets caught in a traffic jam. Having no time to spare, he exits the cab and runs to the woman's apartment by leaping from car to car; the reflection of Dr. Ruth is cast through the windows of various cars.
