When does high occupancy begin?


Last November, a Phoenix police officer pulled a driver over for improper use of a carpool lane. The officer said the driver was the only one in the car; the driver, who was pregnant, said she was not, because her unborn child was with her. The woman appealed her fine, contending that Arizona traffic laws do not define when life begins. Early this year, a municipal court judge ruled against her; "common sense," he held, suggests that given the purpose of high-occupancy vehicle lanes, an individual passenger must occupy a "separate and distinct" space in the car.
