Today is the first day of October, and this Texas man knew exactly the best way to celebrate the official opening of Spooky Season.

Constables in Harris County noticed a gentleman driving through the HOV lane not with a human passenger in the front seat, but a life-sized skeleton, who was even buckled up and wearing a hat.

Harris County constable Ted Heap wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday,Our deputies saw right through the ruse and issued the driver a bone-afide citation."

Heap also joked, "After a sternum lecture, deputies wished him bone voyage!"
