What do you do when another driver is passing you illegally on the shoulder in the Seattle area? Ram them with your vehicle — three times.

The driver of a Jeep passed a Subaru on State Route 516 Tuesday, according to Washington State Trooper Rick Johnson. Understandably, the driver of the Subaru wasn’t happy about that.

According to Johnson, the Subaru hit the Jeep “at least” three times as it passed on the shoulder.

Both drivers were ticketed.

KIRO Radio’s Chris Sullivan says this is a perfect example of a driver enforcing the rules, instead of leaving it to law enforcement.
