Woman Uses Dummy Passenger With Briefcase in Carpool Lane
DIX HILLS, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities in New York say a woman has been ticketed for driving in a carpool lane with a fake passenger in the front seat.

Police say the dummy was made with a pile of clothes topped with a baseball hat, and even had a briefcase – but it was not wearing a seat belt.
