Surprised only getting a $90 fine considering he admitted to using the dummy for months.

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. -- The police officer was no dummy, but the passenger was.
Police in Suffolk County, N.Y., have ticketed a driver for propping a first-aid practice mannequin in his passenger seat to fake his way into a highway car-pool lane. The mustachioed dummy was fitted out with a baseball cap and buckled into a seatbelt.
The officer who pulled the car over on the Long Island Expressway Friday says he was "trying to hold back a chuckle."
The driver is shrugging off the $90 fine. After all, his plan had been working for months. He said the dummy nicknamed Gilligan has been helping him cut his hour-plus commute since October, by getting him into lanes designated for cars with two or more people.
But he said he'll stick to the regular lanes from now on.

Must be wonderful to live somewhere so over populated that you have lanes just for car pooling etc. :idea: :idea:
