He disguises models to use the lanes reserved for carpooling

In the United States, the police are arresting more and more drivers disguising vulgar mannequins in order to install them in their vehicles. The reason is simple, to be able to use the lanes reserved for carpooling.

All means are good to try to save time. For some time now, reserved lanes au carpooling made their appearances at UNITED STATES. These were installed to promote the practice and for relieve traffic. Without forgetting the ecological aspect to do good to the planet by reducing the number of vehicles on the roads.

Obviously it is strictly forbidden au driver, alone, to take these routes.

The police on the prowl

Who says prohibition says potential verbalization. As such, the police watch closely carpool lanes. And it’s not uncommon for drivers to be surprised with mannequins clothing installed in their vehicle to can borrow carpool lanes. It is true that some models are deceivers and others much less.

Still, this practical is not necessarily to the taste of law enforcement. Evidenced by the police Massachusetts who published the August 10 last this post on their page Facebook :

The message is:

Ensuring safety and fairness on our highways is a priority for our law enforcement. A Boston police officer recently arrested the driver of a Mercedes-Benz that was driving in the carpool lane without the two necessary occupants. Instead, the driver had attached this dummy to fool a passenger. May this post remind you that the carpooling lane is reserved for vehicles with at least two passengers HUMANS ! Models, dogs and imaginary friends don’t matter in order to keep our roads safe and traffic rules obeyed.

The message is clear !

deja vu

As mentioned above, there is lots of examples like this one. THE August 7 last, the police of The Angels had spotted a mannequin dressed up as a hat and one fake mustache.

In mars 2021 also, the police of The Angels had stopped a man trying to achieve the same trickery. Already at that time, the policemen they were not did not fall into the trap.

At the sight of the photo, it is true that this model was clearly more misleading than our California offender, however not enough for Los Angeles police officers. The driver had explained that his carousel had lasted since over a year and a half. The latter had to pay the sum of 400 $ for his scam.
