You can try and argue that with the highway patrol troopers but good luck. I don't think they'll buy it. Somewhere in the law books is the definition of "passenger" as it pertains to those signs and I can guarantee that it spells out live human beings. I read in the paper a while back about a pregnant woman who wanted to ride "alone" (I won't get into THAT debate). She challenged those signs and lost. |

You'll get the ticket and I doubt you'd win the fight. I have heard of a pregnant woman arguing her way out of a ticket with the officer because she counted an unborn child, but I doubt even that would hold up in court. |

the term "passenger" would be defined in the legal literature surrounding road laws in your community. it is almost certain they defined "passenger" to mean a human being only. |

Only if it's a working animal like a seeing eye dog of course then you'd be blind and then you shouldn't be driving. |

All of those definitions assume they're human, with the exception of seat cover. |

the point of carpool was to eliminate the number of cars so anything that can not drive itself shouldn't count. People with kids get all the breaks, but I guess if they were transporting someone else's kid too then they are saving that parent transportation contamination. |
