Hey! I actually liked that one, she was trying to prove a point. She actually got her first ticket thrown out.

They're gonna keep throwing that one out. Lest they be forced to defend their position of 'life begins at conception'. They're basically telling pregnant women to drive in the HOV lane for free.

Well, not free. They still have to go through the hassle of getting the ticket dismissed.

Only one seat in the car was in use.

Carpool lane signs and laws only specify multiple occupants, not multiple seats.

They could easily adjust the wording of the laws to get around the “when does life begin” argument, was my point

Same, you can’t argue every pregnancy has human rights that supersede the mothers health or the right to choose where it’s viable or not and then pick and choose when it’s inconvenient for the law.

I think Texas passed or is trying to pass a law saying pregnant women can use the hov lane.
