A lot of news outlets had the story of the New York woman busted for driving in the High Occupancy Vehicle lane with a well-dressed mannequin sitting beside her instead of the legally required live second passenger. But only the New York Post went the extra distance to come up with a clever headline: Driving for dummies.
I think the authorities should cut the woman some slack. Part of the justification for the HOV lanes is to cut down on pollution, and what can be more non-polluting than a dummy that doesn't exhale that evil carbon dioxide?
