Transit Police pulled over a vehicle on the Trans-Canada Highway Wednesday and took the passenger into custody.

Two officers were on their way back to their office around 3 p.m. Wednesday when they saw something suspicious in a late-model Mercedes heading east in the HOV lane on Highway 1.

Consts. Mike Valente and Bruce Shipley pulled over the car near the Sprott exit and, to their surprise, found that the "passenger" was actually the top half of a mannequin, dressed in a grey hooded sweatshirt.

The officers seized the female mannequin and her hoodie, and issued the 28-year-old Abbotsford man driving the car a $109 ticket.

“That is a first for me," said Const. Shipley, a three-year member of the police service, in a news release. “Everyone is in a hurry these days, but the HOV lane is there for a reason — you get caught misusing it and you could be fined. Drive safely and drive smart."

mayb the guy had other uses wif that thing

Would be suspicious in a hot wednesday afternoon 3pm.

*100th post milestone*

Lolz I actually saw it. This white Benz C-class.
But this have been done before hasn't it? Wasn't there some guy driving a van full of "people"?

this has been done by my sister's manager before..he was on the news too Lol

pssh $109 ticket, well I guess it's not a serious offence,

at least it was a mannequin and not some shitty watermelon or something. Is driving in the HOV lane really that much better?

It would cut your commute in half during rush hour.

Seen a guy driving around in the HOV lane, holding up a mannequin's head in his right hand.

:lol wow desperate to drive in the hov lane huh?

lol...

i always see people driving alone on the HOV... and fast like.. fast and furious too

pisses me off

can they take away the mannequin?

This is something I'd pull off! ~AHHA

Nice photo too!

I'm a little unclear. I take it he wasn't pulled over for using a Mannequin since they didn't know. Meaning if he wasn't speeding or had broken tail lights, he probably would've continued to get away with it?

Awesome.

I think they need to return the Mannequin. The cops can't just confiscate it.

I don't see how they couldn't spot a person wearing a hoody in the summer.

If your going to try to get away with something like this at least paint the damn thing to resemble skin tones, give her some sunglasses and drop a wig with a hat on top.

what if they charge hm for stealing a mannequin =O

Yeah, why the fuck would they confiscate it?

All he had to say was that he was delivering it and was in a rush. Pay the fine. Big deal.

Transit police.......:haha:

lol, this is funny

Damn hilarious. Guess he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Always see people gunning it on the HOV lane.

you know, i saw that car pulled over -- i was stuck in that traffic jam and thought it was odd that the cops decided to pull over someone in the HOV lane. that's funny!

on a semi-related note -- in that same traffic jam, a car i passed had a chick who took off her top/bra and was tanning while driving. she was hunched over her steering wheel so i couldn't see her boobs =(

you don't even need a dummy, I bet half the cars in the HOV lane heading from 1st ave to port man only have 1 person, but nobody gets pulled over.

damn... you should've told lean back, or play fat joe- lean back :D

I saw a young blonde on her cell phone driving with the top down on her convertible Miata in the HOV lane during rush hour once. No passenger. Pissed me off.

Yeah some people think that the HOV lane is exempt from the speed limit:haha:

In the winter, i used to use my giant jordan winter jacket... it usually works too :P
