A US commuter had a real dummy along for the ride.
State Trooper John Carnell saw a vehicle enter the carpool lane on Interstate 93 north in Massachusetts with a suspicious-looking passenger. He pulled the vehicle over and found that the driver had propped up a jacket with a mannequin head on top in the passenger seat. The fake head even had a little moustache drawn on.
Vehicles using the lane must have at least two occupants. The driver has been cited for the offence.
