This bug is quite concerning. I'm not entirely sure how to approach fixing it. It is quite obviously an exploit of the game mechanics, removing the difficulty if you correctly time the macro.
Some ways I've been thinking about:
Make it so that there can never be a gap between cars that large. This might be quite complex - different sized vehicles in strategic positions.
Have a period in which after you move the frog, you cannot accept input. This is also quite complex - if levels are so fast you need to move your car really fast from side to side or up and down you'd be prohibited from doing so.
I'll think it over.
