Weird News: Driver Caught In HOV Lane With Mannequin
A driver in Houston, Texas was caught with a mannequin in the passenger’s seat while driving in the HOV lane.
The driver went to great lengths to make the mannequin look real. It was wearing a wig, lipstick, and sunglasses, and had on a red sweater.
Captain Terry Thurman said, “This is one of the better ones I’ve seen.” While this issue doesn’t arise every day, it’s not all that uncommon.
In this case, the driver of the vehicle was pulled over for speeding, not failing to pay a toll. That is when the deputy discovered the mannequin. They posted a picture of the mannequin to social media with the caption, “Precinct 5 deputies are cracking down on dummies!”
While the faux friend may have saved the driver some time in heavy Houston traffic, the price may be steep. Investigators say she is likely to be fined up to $500 for the violation.
Let’s hope she pays the HOV violation, and doesn’t end up serving jail time for the traffic hack.
