Beating the System (among other things...)
Fed up waiting in traffic while the high occupancy vehicles fly by in the car pool lane? Bring a friend!
Best fucking part?
Update: This is funny, too.

Drivers in New Zealand's largest city of Auckland are turning to inflatable passengers to try and beat transit lane rules.I wonder if they've created the dual traffic/indecent exposure tickets yet.
Blow-up dolls, shop mannequins and dogs dressed up as children have all been used to try and justify driving in lanes where vehicles are required to have at least three occupants.
"There were some odd people that tried these antics," North Shore city council traffic safety manager Andre Dannhauser told Reuters.
Drivers caught trying to beat the system are fined NZ$150 (57 pounds(959 American? -MP)).
Best fucking part?
For a while some enterprising students charged a small fee to get driven past the enforcement officers, before running back up the road to repeat the trick. "The money they generated from that was not enough to pay for the beer for the thirst they generated," Dannhauser said.BAH HAHAHAHA!!! I love Kiwis.
