Motorist Was Caught Driving With Dummy to Use the Carpool Lane!

We've all been there sitting in traffic on the freeway just staring at the carpool lane wishing we had that second person in our car to get around everyone.

Maybe you've even thought about putting a dummy doll in your passenger seat to pass all the traffic.

Well one driver got caught doing exactly that!

The California Highway Patrol said a driver in Contra Costa County tried using a dummy in order to drive in the carpool lane.

The CHP posted a tweet about the incident with a photo of a dummy sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle wearing a black sweater and a baseball cap.

The tweet had the caption, "Dummy passenger can’t fool us. Shame on you.”

The CHP said the man told the officer he didn’t have any room in his car to put the dummy, which looked like the Marvel character “Venom,” so he put it in the front seat beside him.

The man, who was not identified, was given a $400 carpool traffic citation. 

Authorities hope it sends a message to other drivers in California.

Yikes, good to know using a doll doesn't work and you could get a $400 traffic citation!
