Bay Area traffic sucks, we get it and, sometimes, the carpool lane looks real nice.
But you can’t fool the CHP, dummy.
On Highway 4, Contra Costa CHP stopped a solo driver in the carpool lane with a rather stiff passenger.
The passenger in question was a mannequin in a sweatshirt and lipstick and apparently not real-looking enough to trick officers.
Check out a tweet from the CHP below:
#Carpool Cheater. Meet Angel. Angel didn’t have much of a personality as a passenger when we met her this morning during our Carpool Enforcement on #hwy4 She just oddly stared at us while we issued her chauffeur a ticket for carpool violation. #nicetry #mannequin @KTVU @GMA pic.twitter.com/4gAJlTqjcK

Don’t try this unless you want a minimum ticket of $489.
