Driver caught with mannequin for passenger in HOV lane
10:55 PM PDT on Friday, July 27, 2007
AUBURN, Wash. – What some people won't do to get a free ride in the HOV lane.
The Washington State Patrol says a trooper caught a driver trying to cheat by using a mannequin as a second occupant in the car Wednesday morning.
The trooper spotted the Honda Accord in the HOV lane on SR 167 at 37th Street NW around 8 a.m. He noticed the passenger looked white as a ghost.
The trooper decided to stop the car to check on the passenger. That's when he realized that passenger was actually a mannequin head tied to the head rest of the car seat with a bungee cord.
On top of that, the driver didn't have insurance.
The trooper said the 44-year-old Black Diamond man was very upset and spouted out profanities while arguing that the trooper had no reason to stop him.
The driver got a ticket for an HOV lane violation and not having insurance.
