I would not want to be in the shoes of a driver who was driving his auto in the Santa Fe Springs California area about a week ago when he was caught by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) officer for violation of the law by crossing double lines in the high occupancy highway lanes by using a mannequin as a passenger.
When the police officer saw the passenger of the driver whose name and gender were not mentioned saw the mannequin, the driver was given many citations.
I am sure that the price of the citations will be very steep. Hopefully the driver who did violate the law will learn a lesson to obey traffic laws from now on.

The driver thought he could get away with breaking the traffic law. He is looking at a steep fine.

You are right since the mannequin looks like a human being.

Some people don't learn and just feel like the police are being unfair. Like Trump for instance.

At least, the mannequin appears to have its seat belt on, which would stop it becoming a dangerous projectile if an accident occurred.
The police officer, not seeing any funny side to this, obviously threw the whole police rule book at this driver.
Perhaps, the driver had a shop, and was just transporting the mannequin to their shop, as a display item; who knows why anyone would do this, without a good reason for doing it.

I'll bet he won't do that again. Have a good day.
