For those of you living in 1991, the HOV lane is what you might call the "carpool" lane. High Occupancy Vehicles only. Knox and I were recently wondering, does it count if you just have a kid in the car with you? I mean, if they're under 16, it's not like they had an alternative option to going with you. Especially someone Roxy's age. I mean, what's she gonna do? Go cruising on her own in the civic? It seems sort of unfair that a kiddo would count as the second passenger. Not that I am complaining, it just seems weird.
Well, wonder no more. Others have pondered this same question before us. From the US Dept. of Transportation:
Do children and infants count as passengers?
Yes. All states with HOV facilities count children and infants as passengers.
