Question

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane ?

Answer 1

How many times is this question going to get repeated

this is about the 200 times someone has asked this

question isn't that WHAT THE SEARCH answer box  IS FOR

TO

SEARCH FOR ANSWEERS BEFORE POSTING THEM!

maybe should we get rid of the search since apparently

everyone must be too lazy to use it!

and the answer is NO

now Bet within a month another jerk is going to ask this same question

Answer 2

sure, as long as there are two living people in the vehicle.

Answer 3

Now here's an interesting question.  A colleague of mine and I, both in the funeral industry, have debated whether or not we should try taking our service hearse - looks like a regular gray/silver van - onto one of our HOV lanes dedicated to vehicles with three or more passengers.  In Ontario the law states that a vehicle must be transporting three or more 'persons'.  It does not stipulate that all, or in fact any, of the persons be alive.  We think it would be a hoot to explain to the officer that stops us that Mr. Cadavre in the back is still a person and so together with the two of us up front we do indeed have the requisite compliment of passengers.  Be interesting to see how a justice-of-the piece, traffic court judge deals with this one.

Answer 4

NOPE. A guy here in Calif. even tried to fight his ticket in court and not only lost, but was laughed at by everyone present.

Answer 5

It depends on how many "spirits" that the cop can see riding with him at the time.Otherwise NO! He must treat it as 1 person only.

Answer 6

You never know, there could be local excemptions for hearses. Sometimes they do have special laws.

Answer 7

Thats been tried before...person driving will sure enough get an expensive ticket

Answer 8

Depends who's driving!

Answer 9

NO. Your passenger must be alive.

Answer 10

Only if you can make the corpse sit on in the seat and please make sure he or she has a seat belt on because the cops might pull you over for that and find out your friend in the other seat isn't alive. LOL I heard of a few people putting clothes on one of those blow up s*x dolls and sit them in the passenger seat beside them so they could use the car pool lane. So if it works for them it should work for you right? At least your passenger was alive at one time. Those plastic blow up things never were. :o)
