ST. PAUL (KFGO) – The Minnesota State Patrol has cited a driver who dressed up a plastic skeleton in a purple hoodie, trying to pass it off as a passenger to use the MnPASS lane in Maplewood.
MnPASS allows vehicles with two or more people to drive in express lanes on interstates.
Those lanes can be used during peak travel times for those paying a fee for MnPASS.
Tweet from MN State Patrol –
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.
