On the Long Island Expressway, a woman has been fined after using a mannequin to act as a “plus one” in the high occupancy vehicle lane. The cop became suspicious when he saw that the passenger was wearing sunglasses and had the visor down, yet the weather was overcast.

When the cop pulled over, he realized the passenger was a mannequin, fully clothed and topped with a wig. It is truly amazing the length at which people will go to avoid traffic in New York.
