A plastic skeleton is seen belted in the passenger seat in this handout photo shot Dec. 20, 2011, near Kent, Wash., and provided by the Washington State Patrol. The patrol says a trooper pulled over a speeding driver on Interstate 5 near Kent and the skeleton, dressed in a white sweatshirt, didn’t live up to the passenger requirement for carpooling. The driver was cited Dec. 20 for aggressive driving, speeding at 82 mph and violating the HOV lane.
Skeleton in passenger seat doesn’t live up to carpool rules in Wash.

Trying to find something funny to say about this but I cant.
You don’t have to. This situation is funny enough by itself!
This guy should have his fine cut in half, just for his creativity! :-)
Debatable. First I’ve heard of a skelton but use of store dummies is quite common.
If it is actually a human skeleton, I guess theoretically he had two people in the car. Would love to see a Johnny Cochran type of lawyer challenge this one for grins.
Well I am going to go ahead and try Siri, I am going to have my Iphone in my passenger seat, ask Siri random questions including verifying that I am on the right road, and when I get pulled over I will have to see if the “My cell phone has a name and responds back like a person” argument works.
Skeletons are people my friend.
I was thinking of the look on the officer’s face when he pulled him over and saw the skeleton in the seat. Sorry, this is funny (except for the speeding, etc). I wonder if an imaginary friend or multiple personality would qualify??
What’s that in his lap?
