They said at the time: “To whoever owns these car seat covers, well played.

“Our officers spotted some ‘suspicious people’ that hadn’t left their car for some time and went to investigate.”

Members of the public found them hilarious, as reported on What’s The Jam.

While another said: “They were popular a few years ago when there were dedicated road lanes for cars with more than one occupant.

“If you used the lane with only the driver then you would get caught by a camera and subsequently fined.”
