Man fined for using a dummy to poach on commuter lane

(11-04) 09:40 PST NOVATO — A 28-year-old Petaluma man was pulled over Wednesday and slapped with a $351 fine for using a kickboxing dummy dressed in a Miami Dolphins windbreaker and baseball cap to poach on the commuter lane.

At least he put some thought into it. And I hope to god he was going at least 75mph and closing every gap he could. I ride a moto and can legally use the HOV lane. It pisses me off when ppl who shouldn’t be there use it, but when they do, god help them if they get in the lane and drive slowly. Then I unleash the razorblade talons of death in the sides of my boots and key their cars as I drive split past them.

(OK that was just a fantasy)

    My sexpal in Walnut Creek (who I used to carpool with when I had that horrible commute to San Ramon) got an ‘06 Prius about 3 months ago. He loves it.

    He can drive in the car pool lanes now solo, so long as he gets one of those Translink white plastic bridge toll thingies (which he did). Sometimes people flip him off because they don’t realize he’s in a hybrid.. he’s like “LOL dipshit :(”

    I saw a moto driver a few years ago who hand lettered on his helmet “Your SUV makes you look fat.”

    Yes, slow drivers in the fast lanes need to be pulled over and shot dead by the road side, and left for the carrion eaters.
