Not if the monkey is dead. Or too sick to drive.

Well, sometimes, my monkey is drunk. What then?

Do blowup dolls count?

Does a $7k doll that talks count?

THAT is hilarious.

It'd be cheaper just to drive alone in HOV and keep paying the fines...

Yes kids and infants count. I had a coworker who would drive in on 66 with her kids. When a cop would start to pull her over, she'd have the kids wave out the windows so the cop could see there were humans in her back seat.

I'm literally freaking crying after the chimpanzee/toddler post and the "died during the journey" post. Thank you SO MUCH, I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

Babies and children who cannot drive count. Virginia just requires you to be person and not an animal.

In order to qualify for use of an HOV lane, you have to be physically able to drive, but not necessarily legally. Thus infants don't count, but advanced toddlers, who could conceivably grasp the wheel, do count.
Chimpanzees count, because they could be trained to drive at least a few feet. Dogs and cats, lacking opposable thumbs, do not.

The old SNL skits used to have Toonces the Driving Cat - would that qualify on HOV?

As far as I know, Toonces never got a license, so I think that's a no-no. From what I see, the cops are real sticklers about that sort of thing.

But I have a different query: My kids are small, but I hear that when they get to be teenagers, they act like aliens. What are the rules about aliens - the ones from outer space, not the ones from France?

or the Bud Lite commercial where the white dog is driving the car haphazardly?

But not nearly as fun once you got home . . .

Do you think I actually need the baby in the car or would my "baby on board" sticker be sufficient enough for a police officer to not stop me?

LOL.

You can be the designated driver.
