A sex doll firm has completely sold out of a particular lifelike model – because canny motorists are using them to get out of traffic fines.
In Australia, some highway lanes can only be used by vehicles with more than one person inside, but now quick-thinking drivers have discovered the Donna sex doll can fool enforcement cameras.
The drivers are sitting her in the front passenger seat as if she were a real person, hence ducking the traffic rules. As a consequence, she has completely sold out in Melbourne for the first time ever.

Adam Lea, marketing manager of Wild Secrets, the adult retailer that stocks the $5,500 (£2,700) doll, told the Herald Sun: “This has never happened in the company’s 30-year history.”
The sudden demand for Donna has been sparked by Eastern Freeway commuters who are using the lifelike doll as a fake passenger to qualify for the faster transit lane.
“The awful traffic on the Eastern has resulted in a coup for us,” Mr Lea told the paper.
“People are buying dolls so they can use the much faster transit lane.”
In just the past few months, hourly sales of Donna has led to a complete sellout.
Mr Lea said the dolls sold “pretty infrequently” until the strange phenomenon lifted off. Some months they would only sell two dolls, he said.
VicRoads strictly prohibits the use of sex dolls in transit lanes clearly stating “passengers” must be human.
The problem has been cracked down on in the US too. In Arizona last year, a driver was pulled over for driving in a carpool lane with an inflatable Grinch in the front passenger seat.
