A particularly lifelike model of a sex doll has sold out at a retailer as drivers use it to dodge fines.
That’s a lot to take in, right? So let’s get into it.
Vehicles with more than one person are the only ones allowed to use some lanes on highways in Australia – and this rule is checked with special cameras.
Nevertheless, it has been discovered by some individuals in Australia that the use of a life-sized sex doll in the passenger seat while driving on the Eastern Freeway can deceive the cameras. Although I am curious to know the identity of the first person who discovered this, I am content with not knowing.
Despite the strangeness of the situation, Adam Lea, the marketing manager at Wild Secrets, has reported that the Donna sex doll is now sold out.
He informed the Herald Sun that this event is unprecedented in the 30-year history of the company.
A press release has suggested that the cause of Donna’s sell-out, priced at £2,700 ($5,500), could be due to the fact that it was photographed inside a car.
Lea noted that the recent surge in sales, all of which have been in Melbourne, appears to be due to the doll being purchased as a travel companion for individuals using the Eastern Freeway.
Due to the terrible traffic conditions on the Eastern Freeway, we are experiencing a surge in sales. People are purchasing dolls so that they can utilize the much faster transit lane.
Lea stated that until a few months ago, the dolls were selling “rarely,” but there has since been a deluge of new sales, with one customer even confessing that they bought the sex doll solely to deceive the cameras.
He added, “We used to sell only a couple every month… but then it changed recently, and we were making sales every hour, and now we’re out of stock… the Eastern Freeway is the only explanation we can come up with.”
The VicRoads’ website states that only vehicles with two or more occupants or those that are buses, taxis, motorcycles or trams can use a T2 freeway transit lane.
But the website also specifies that the ‘passengers’ have to be human beings, which Donna is not, despite her realistic face, so customers who used the dolly passenger would still be breaking the law. And they would have a lot of explaining to do to their partners.
