Hearse Pulled Over for Using HOV; Police: Guy in the Back Doesn't Count

Sounds like the driver was dying to get where he was going in a hurry.
Side note from the article:
quote:
Trooper Travis Smaka spotted the Chrysler minivan hearse going southbound in the HOV lane on Interstate 15, according to the Los Angeles Times. The driver appeared to be alone — but that was because Smaka was not counting ”the dearly departed in the back,” as Nevada Highway Patrol Southern Command later explained on Twitter.
quote:
That’s when the driver pressed his luck and replied, "So, he doesn't count?" according to Fox News. The trooper had no choice but to break the bad news — cars are only allowed in the carpool lane when they’re carrying at least two “living, breathing people.”

While the hearse driver’s excuse was a unique one, it certainly wasn’t the first time someone has tried to navigate their way into the carpool lane using a bogus story.
A Northern California man once tried to argue that the articles of incorporation for his business counted as a second passenger, as the Supreme Court regards corporations as individuals in legal matters.

pretty damn sure thats not the way the law was written
it just says number of passengers to qualify and nothing says they have to be alive or dead, the cop added the "they have to be alive" part all on his own, he has a case if he fights it

Well, it’s not like she can get more pregnant, right?

As a dog lover and a diver, you're avatar image always cracks me up. Whats the story behind it?

I'm not debating you or saying you're wrong or anything as I'm ignorant on the topic, but I always thought the law was made to kinda "reward" people for carpooling and taking excess cars off the roads and cutting down on emissions. Is that not the origin? If that is the case, then even though the law may say simply "number of passengers" it would seem apparent what they had in mind.

It’s from a thread a few weeks ago. Some Danish Navy Seals or something.
