Nice try, ace.
The Minnesota State Patrol has cited a drver who dressed up a plastic skeleton in a purple hoodie, trying to pass it off as a passenger to use the MnPASS in Maplewood.
The electronic MnPASS which allows vehicles with two or more people access to free express lanes.
Those lanes can be used during peak travel times for those paying a fee for the MnPASS.
We’ve heard of having skeletons in your closet. But skeletons in your passenger seat? A trooper saw the skeleton in a vehicle March 25 in Maplewood. The trooper pulled over the driver, who had the skeleton buckled (improperly). He was cited for illegally using the MnPASS lane. pic.twitter.com/Fld65brRrT

May 10, 2019 As anyone can see by viewing the State Patrol's Twitter account, the skeleton not only a real person, the bony body was also not belted properly inside the car.
