Good news for those who play by the rules: Scofflaws who cut into a line of vehicles waiting to board a Washington state ferry just might get their comeuppance.
It took a critical mass of ferry-line anger to seep up to the state Legislature to make it so, but cheaters are subject to a $101 fine and an ignominious return to the end of the line.
Washington state ferry officials note there are two kinds of cheaters: accidental tourists who don't know what they do, and those others who know precisely what they do.
The law, in its majestic equality, will have a difficult time discriminating between the lambs and the sharks - it's best to pay attention.
