Driver Tries to Beat Carpool Ticket in Rather Unconventional Way

Driver Tries to Beat Carpool Ticket in Rather Unconventional Way – blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets. 

It’s well known that you need to have another person with you while driving in carpool lanes. Does a Corporation count as another passenger? As reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, a driver attempted to beat the system by placing a stack of papers (evidencing his family Corporation) in his passenger seat. The driver argued that in 1886 the Supreme Court case Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co. which established a corporation was a person. Therefore the driver figured there were in effect two people in his car. The driver failed to convince the Marin County Superior Court Traffic Referee, Drago, of his argument. Drago found the driver guilty, noting the purpose of the carpool law is to relieve congestion and carrying around a stack of papers doesn’t help to relief congestion.   –  blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
