Unborn Rider Counts for HOV?
An unborn baby is a person, for certain. But I’m not so sure this lady has a shot, since the point of the HOV lane is to reduce the number of cars, and the child inside does not take up a seat. Interesting approach, but it’s a definite stretch.
A pregnant woman ticketed for driving in the carpool lane will have her day in court next month to argue that her unborn child counts as a second person in the car.
“I understand the reasoning for the HOV lane,” said Candace Dickinson, 23. “But whether my son is in a car seat versus in my stomach, I don’t get it. It’s the same thing.”
…
“He asked how many people were in the car with me, and I said, ‘Two’ and he said ‘No, one.’ I said I was nine months pregnant and had my son in the car with me,” she said. “The way the law is written, he can occupy the vehicle without occupying a seat.”
