Dude Busted Using HOV Lane With ‘The Most Interesting Man in the World’ Cutout

March 25, 2015

Navigation systems ask him for directions.

According to KING 5, a man using the HOV Lane on a stretch of Interstate 5 just east of Tacoma was issued a $124 ticket Monday afternoon when police noticed his companion in the front seat was actually a cardboard cut out of “The Most Interesting Man in the World.”

I don’t always violate the HOV lane law…but when I do, I get a $124 ticket! We’ll give him an A for creativity! pic.twitter.com/hNbQDuBWfc

Washington State Trooper Guy Gill said that he and the driver had a good chuckle about using the Dos Equis pitchman as his carpool buddy, but he issued him a ticket anyway.

“The driver told me, ‘He’s my best friend. He never says anything,'” Gill said.

No word if the driver plans on challenging the citation or if he plans on using a mannequin dressed like Perry Mason to sway the district attorney when he does.
