Subject: [AE] Recreating this abstract image

Hi all,

A client has asked me to recreate this shutterstock image as an animation
such that the streaks of light are flying out from the point where they
converge.

I'm using fractal noise to create horizontal lines, but I'm really
struggling to come up with a way of warping those lines into that shape.

https://www.shutterstock.com/image-illustration/acceleration-speed-motion-on-night-road-772713379

I've played around with all the warping effects but don't seem to be
getting close to what I'm after in any kind of neat way.

I feel like I'm missing something really obvious as I don't usually
struggle to recreate abstract imagery like this in AE, but it has been a
long day!

Any help much appreciated!

Cheers,
Phil
