If a hearse car is carrying a body from the funeral to the grave site and is on the highway, are they allowed to drive in the carpool lane? :shrug:
Good riddle..

You WOULD get a ticket. The definition of the High Occupany Vehicle (HOV lane) is an added occupant who could potentially be driving another vehicle but isn't thus lessening congestion.
Because a dead person doesn't drive the answer is No.
Next question... :0008

Does that mean the mother with her 3 kids, all under the age of 16, can't be in the carpool lane?
A: There is no age limit for passengers to allow vehicles to drive in the carpool lane, a state patrol spokesman said.
So if you have an infant in the car during rush hour, it's legal to drive in a two-person carpool lane to beat traffic.
State Patrol trooper Curt Boyle points to RCW 46.61.165, the state law that refers to high-occupancy vehicle lanes. As he notes, the law doesn't say anything about passenger age:

Yeah, I didn't think there was an age limit.
Can we please start ticketing the morons who drive with their dogs in their lap?
Doesn't that defeat the point of carpooling? The point is to get cars off of the system, but a mom with her curtain climbers in the cars isn't doing that. Those kids can't drive themselves.
Now, if mom has four OTHER moms' kids in her car, now you're talking!
