We've seen people use dolls. . .cardboard cutouts. . . and even Halloween skeletons to scam their way into the carpool lane. So it's kinda refreshing to see someone keep it simple . . .
A guy on Long Island, New York got pulled over on Thursday for dressing his PASSENGER SEAT up like a person.
He draped a winter coat over it, and pulled the hood up over the headrest. He also put a baseball cap on it . . . and pulled the bill down to hide the fact that it was a headrest, not an actual person's head.
A cop saw him drive by and thought something about the passenger didn't quite look right. So they pulled him over, and posted a picture of it online.
They gave the guy a ticket for using an H.O.V. lane without a passenger and sent him on his way.
