Washington Drivers Busted Using Creepy Dummies To Outsmart State Carpool Lane Rules

Washington State Patrol officers busted two drivers brazenly using dummies as fake passengers to speed through carpool lanes, highlighting the bizarre lengths some go for a quick commute. These carpool lane dummies may have the right look, but they’re no match for the keen eyes of the law in Washington.
One mannequin on I-5 was decked out in a brunette wig, plaid shirt, and scarf, while another sported a garish yellow windbreaker and baseball cap—neither fooled troopers for long. These “dummy doll” antics cost drivers up to $386 and fueled a viral carpool lane crackdown.
