Can a hearse carrying a dead body travel in the carpool lane?
Just wondering
In California, no. The traffic control devices specifically indicate the number of “persons” required to drive in these lanes. Section 470 of the California Vehicle Code defines the word person to mean “a natural person, firm, copartnership,
association, limited liability company, or corporation.” The legal definition of “natural person” is a living, breathing human being.
By the same token, a pregnant woman cannot claim that her unborn child qualifies as a passenger unless the baby has been born and is alive and breathing.
