True Justice

I was driving Interstate 25 through Wyoming at night. Traffic was heavy and slowed down to a few miles an hour when we passed the "Form Single Lane Left" sign. The sign was two miles before the multi-mile construction area. As suggested, everyone politely formed a queue, leaving the right lane vacant.

After ten minutes, I had progressed about a mile. Looking in my rear view mirror, I saw the headlights of a jerk racing up the right lane at 60 miles per hour. A rude dude!

But there was hope. Ahead of me a Safeway semi pulled out into the right lane, stopping the jerk. The driver pulled up along side of another Safeway truck ahead of him. Side by side, the Safeway drivers escorted the jerk the mile to the start of the road construction. 

Sitting in the dark, I could feel the cheers from drivers around me for the vigilante truckers.
