Fair enough. Point taken. Now all you need is a third person and you can
legally use the transit lane.

Speaking of which (and sorry for being WAY off topic), I once heard a story
that when transit lanes were first introduced to Brisbane, the punters tried
filling their cars with .... ahem..... "Inflatable Wendy's" suitably attired
to look like legitimate passengers. Why do they have a constant look of
fright on their faces (I'm told).     :-o
