Driver Caught With an Inflatable Grinch

We don’t deal with this in our neck of the woods, but in big cities, the High-Occupancy Vehicle lane (or HOV), has long been the subject of shenanigans! HOV lanes are traffic lanes reserved for buses or vehicles with several occupants. When you drive in an HOV lane, you have to have someone with you. People have been abusing this lane, AND been caught cheating with FAKE “passengers” for years. Here’s another one, but this one is HOLIDAY-themed . . . a driver in Arizona was caught driving in a carpool lane, with an INFLATABLE GRINCH sitting in the front seat. There’s a photo online, and it’s pretty funny, but the driver probably wasn’t laughing because he got a ticket.
