His passenger looked like Gandalf (pictured), the wizard in "Lord of the Rings" wearing a baseball cap.

A Washington State Patrol trooper noticed a dangling belt buckle on the passenger side and suspected a seat belt violation.

Instead of a seatbelt violation, the Trooper found an HOV lane violation. The bearded Gandolf look-alike passenger was a dummy.

The driver, who acknowledged trying to beat traffic by using the High Occupancy Vehicle lane was issued a $124 ticket.

The Trooper confiscated the dummy.
