Instant karma comes for driver skipping line of cars on the freeway

Karma is best served instantly.

Anyone who frequently drives on the highway knows how annoying it can be when a driver tries to jump the line at a busy junction, but there's usually not much drivers can do about it.

In this clip, cars start to pileup in the righthand lane as the driver with the dash cam speeds past. There are plenty of opportunities for the driver to safely merge into traffic, but he pulls the jerk move instead.

At the last second, the driver fills a gap between a large truck and a car, cutting the dozens of other vehicles that queued when they were supposed to and waited their turn. But just two cars ahead was a Connecticut State Trooper that spotted the whole thing. The trooper quickly jumps out of her vehicle and flags the driver over.

"Wow," the driver says, surprised that the jerk move he just pulled may be getting him a ticket.

Just as the video ends the cop tells him that he can't cross the solid white line when exiting the highway.
