Question

If you are driving a hearse with a corpse, do you qualify to drive in the car pool lane?

Answer 1

lol... good question... well this one time, i had a body in my trunk and it counted when i got pulled over... but i got in trouble about the dead body part... lol jk...

Answer 2

If and ONLY if you prop up the corpse in the passenger seat!

LOL!

Answer 3

... not funny

probably not, since car pool is to help relieve congestion

but i doubt the police would care in order to honor the funeral

Answer 4

yes, but only if the corpse is sitting in the seat next to you. they'll never know the difference

Answer 5

Law enforcement will not pull a hearse over just as they wont fool with an ambulance, so it doesnt make any difference,

Answer 6

No. No. A thousand times NO!

The only time a hearse can legally drive in the car pool lane is when there is another LIVE passenger in the vehicle. The body in back is just cargo.

The car pool, or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV), lane is there to reduce traffic by having other drivers share a vehicle. The corpse in the back of a hearse has ceased being a driver and can no longer increase or decrease traffic.

Answer 7

Actually no. The car pool lane is for people who would be driving  another car. Corpses don't drive.

Answer 8

probably not. but i know somebody who worked for a clothing store and got to drive maniqins around so she drove in the carpool lane and propped them up in the passenger seat.

Answer 9

No. The other person must be alive because the point of a carpool lane is that you are condensing two vehicles to one. Obviously a corpse wouldn't be driving a vehicle so you are meeting the requirements of "carpooling".

Answer 10

a corpse what the h**l? killer! or are you a funeral person? either way... not really...
