There goes that idea...

So we've got a number of HOV lanes around here and of course, since I'm lone commuter to work, I never get the benefit of driving in them. I've always wondered if people put dummys in their car to use the lanes. Guess so. Guess I won't be trying it either unless I feel like getting a hefty ticket. I bet you anything people around here do this and don't get caught.

From article: "In the passenger seat was the pale head of a mannequin stuffed in a sweatshirt and wearing a hat. The usually white, Styrofoam head had been painted beige to give it a more lifelike appearance. On the head was a baseball hat tilted toward the driver."
