Who’s the ‘Dummy’ Now?

I just came across this article from the Toronto Sun and thought I would share it for a little laugh. Just so that everyone is aware, the HOV lane is the High Occupancy Vehicle Lane (commonly known as the carpool lane) that usually requires two or more passengers in the car to be able to drive in that reserved lane.

The article stated that the man received a traffic ticket for $124, but it does not indicate what the actual charge was. He likely got charged with an “Improper Use of HOV Lane” but I am curious to know if there is an actual “No Dummy Law” in Seattle!
