Driver faces fine for using mannequin in HOV lane

A 61-year-old New Yorker faces a $135 traffic fine for using a mannequin as her passenger qualifying her to use the high-occupancy lane of the Long Island Expressway.

A sheriff's deputy became suspicious when he saw the passenger wearing sunglasses and using the visor. The only problem: The sky was overcast.

When he stopped the vehicle, he found the mannequin, fully dressed with a long dark wig, blazer, shirt, scarf and sunglasses.
