Some people will go to extreme lengths to avoid dealing with Bay Area traffic, just ask the dummy from this next story. The California Highway Patrol uploaded this picture to Twitter of a man they pulled over in Martinez who was attempting to use a dummy to drive in the carpool lane! The man then shamelessly went on to say he simply didn't have any room in his trunk for the dummy, which was dressed like Spider-Man baddy, Venom. Needless to say, the CHP had some choice words for the lawbreaker:
DUMMY PASSENGER;CAN’T FOOL US. Shame on you. Then you try to tell our Officer ’there’s No room‘ for your VENOM look a like doll?! Riiiiiight. We like Marvel characters too but don’t pretend like you’re not trying to cheat the system.... here’s your CARPOOL ticket.
Sometimes dodging traffic will land you a $400 fine for being a carpool violator!
