What’s an example of a jump cut?

In Godard’s ground-breaking Breathless (1960), for example, he cut together shots of Jean Seberg riding in a convertible (see image) in such a way that the discontinuity between shots is emphasized and its jarring effect deliberate.

I love a good jump cut when it’s an obvious style choice that advances the story and not just “I don’t have a way to cut this so Imma jump cut it.” Yes, they’re fine. For what they are used for, they’re fine. They are used to save time and maintain viewer attention for as long as possible.
