So they can look like successful married couples, right?

Hmm, that's an interesting question... My first thought is that it's related to hitchhikers. But it's unlikely that the laws in the US are so strict that they force everyone to pick up hitchhikers if they don't have passengers. Secondly, a similar thought – the police can confiscate a vehicle for their own needs. But again, I don't think the probability is so high that Americans would even take precautions against it. Maybe you could hang a sign on the back that says "Caution, child," huh? ) Okay, so, most of the time, drivers use various artificial devices when they need to trick cameras. There are all sorts of license plates that rotate around their axis, and so on. Perhaps this is also one of those. But it's unlikely that the cameras are programmed not to fine drivers with passengers. But they are definitely programmed to photograph them... Sesame, is this photo accidentally mirrored? Is that a left-hand drive car in the picture?

Maybe to prevent prostitutes from harassing drivers on the road? And they issue fines because there might be certain rules that single drivers have to follow, but those traveling in a car with their wife don't.

There's also a child. Perhaps just for greater realism, but in reality, it's worth considering the possibility that a child mannequin might also be needed. By the way, a simpler option: cars with families are less likely to be thoroughly inspected. But this is only necessary for various illegal traders (drugs, etc.). For now, I prefer my first option.

Maybe to keep the prostitutes on the roads from bothering people?

- Hey, cowboy, don't you want to have some fun?
- Leave me alone! Please! Here's a hundred dollars, just don't touch me!

Sesam, is this picture accidentally mirrored? Isn't it a left-hand drive car? )

Here, I got stuck trying to remember where the driver's seat should be in the USA. Anyway, if I remember correctly, the picture isn't mirrored, it's a left-hand drive car.
I'm waiting for more versions.

Why do American drivers carry mannequins in the passenger seat, and why does the local police arrest and fine them for it? Any ideas?

Maybe they are practically testing what will happen to a buckled and unbuckled passenger in case of an accident?:smile32: And they are fined because various road cameras mistake the mannequin for a real passenger.

I got stuck here, trying to remember where the driver's seat is supposed to be in the USA.

You travel too much!

Are there any more people who want to suggest options? If not, I'll announce the answer and the person whose version best matches reality tomorrow.

The fact that the mannequin is specifically that of a child is a valid observation, and it's not without reason. Otherwise, why provide a photograph?
Menta's theory – that cars with families are less likely to be stopped – is quite plausible.
Another possibility is that other drivers are more likely to yield to a car with a child, because in the event of an accident, the judge is more likely to side with the family.
It's also possible that families with children could be allowed to use bus lanes, which would obviously reduce their chances of getting stuck in traffic.
Yes, I like my latest version the most.

Otherwise, why provide a photo?

she could have posted something like this, for example

or something else like this

Okay. Most often, drivers use various artificial devices when they need to deceive cameras. There are various license plates that rotate around their axis, etc. Perhaps this is also from that series.

almost from the same series. But not cameras, but the police in general. That's why the police issues fines for such attempts.)

maybe they have some rules that single drivers must follow, but those who drive in a car with their wife don't have to follow.

almost on point.
single drivers and drivers with passengers (not necessarily with a wife) - in some cases, this is a big difference.
There are dedicated lanes for cars with passengers - HOV lanes, where there is a lower chance of getting stuck in traffic.

Also, families with children may be allowed to drive on dedicated lanes for public transport, and of course, there is a lower chance of getting stuck in traffic.
Yes, I like my last version the most.

this answer is closest, so now Uranium is guessing.)

A few years ago, an advertisement for a bank in Moscow featured a cat with a napkin around its neck. In its paw, it held THIS. Name THIS and write the common expression contained in the text of the poster.

This is a simple question of my own creation.

Cheese. (Or a mouse). "Free cheese is only found in a mousetrap." Is that right?

A napkin means "and Vaska listens and eats."
So, THIS is either a spoon with sour cream, or a fork with a dumpling, or sausage. Alternatively, it could be something edible that makes sounds. For example, an oyster.

Exactly, a mouse also makes sounds.

Wow, what a puzzle. I was actually there a few years ago and saw it.

I demand a hint!
