(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)
