I always drove in the HOV lane when I was pregnant with my daughter!
She was probably a bitch to the cop or he would have given her a warning. Just speculation of course.
Agreed.
I don't have a problem with this either way to be honest. It IS another person in the car, even if they're not in a separate seat.
Also, the less pregnant women we have stuck in general traffic, the safer we'll all be!
I think everyone knows the purpose of these lanes. If she was trying to game it and got the ticket, well, she took the risk. Pay up. That ticket has nothing to do with the status of her baby in utero.
Edit: of course the baby is a person... at conception.
Officer pulls her over for driving in the HOV lane with only her in the car, she says ...
I'm good with it.
What kind of jackass cop gives a pregnant woman a ticket?
Sure why not
