How many times have you thought about dressing up a dummy and placing them in the front seat with you, so that you could drive in the HOV lane? A woman in Suffolk County, NY didn’t have a dummy, so she put a cap on some clothes, and drove away. She thought she came up with the perfect plan, until she got pulled over on the Long Island Expressway. According to
ABC News, a cop became suspicious of her passenger and pulled her over. Officer Spina gave her a summons for that violation and driving an unregistered and uninspected vehicle.
The moral to the story is if you are going to fake it, make sure it looks like the real deal. Especially if your car is not registered and inspected in New York.
BTW why doesn’t Siri count as additional passenger because I know I talk to her when I am driving. Some times more than when I have another human in the car with me.
