Ontario police have charged a 21-year-old woman with a carpool lane violation after they found a coat being used to simulate another occupant in the passenger seat.

Burlington police were conducting routine enforcement Sept. 5 on the westbound high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) or “carpool” lanes of Queen Elizabeth Way at around 5 p.m., when they noticed “something wasn’t quite right,” police said in a post on X.
