‘Incredible disappearing passenger’ doesn’t fool Washington State Patrol

Some people go for a mannequin, but the latest person trying to trick state patrol troopers with a fake passenger kept things really simple.

Just a T-shirt and hat, in this case, was supposed to fool troopers into believing there was more than one passenger in the car.

“The ‘incredible disappearing passenger,'” is what Washington State Patrol Trooper Chris Webb dubbed the front seat discovery, tweeting out a picture when the driver was pulled over.

Driving in HOV lanes short of the required number of passengers can result in a $124 ticket.
