I put a dummy in the passenger seat so I could drive in the HOV lane. Pretty smart, right?
I'm not sure if it's smart, but it's definitely sneaky. Why did you do that?
I wanted to get to work faster.
You shouldn't use a dummy to drive in the HOV lane just to get to work faster. The HOV lane exists to encourage carpooling and you are trying to cheat that.
It's okay, I don't think anyone noticed that it wasn't a real person.
Not getting caught isn't the point. The point is that you're using the HOV lane when you're not supposed to be. It's supposed to be used to help alleviate traffic by getting multiple people into a single car.
