[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you and the cop are both right. Technically (and legally) speaking, there is not prohibit you from counting your kids as "occupants" of your vehicle. However, the "spirit of HOV" law (as cop told you) is to lessen the number of drivers on the road. [/quote]

Jesus. For the millionth time. Letting parents get their kids dropped off quickly DOES lesson drivers on the road. A parent who would be on the road for 2 hours being on the road for 1 hour or even 90 minutes reduces congestion.[/quote]

Jesus x 2. you stupid or something? having more cars on the HOV will make HOV traffic slow and, therefore, make things worse for everyone. think before you speak stupid. [/quote]

[b]Parents have always used the HOV.[/b] They are factored into HOV calculations. [b]If they intended parents to not use the HOV they would specify that children in carseats don't count.[/b][/quote]

1. That doesn't make it right.

2. Sometimes you have to use your common sense. Not everything in life comes with written instruction. [/quote]

What the hell are you talking about? My point is that the HOV laws INTEND for parents to use the HOV.

How about tourists driving in from their hotel in Tysons during morning rush? They only have one car, they wouldn't have otherwise taken separate cars, are they breaking the spirit?

[b]How about a guy taking a woman out on a date. They live in DC and are going to dinner in Springfield so they take the HOV. They never would have driven separately.

How about me and my husband who would frequently drive out to Centreville to have dinner with BIL and SIL and their kids who drove with our kids in the back seat. No circumstance where we would have taken separate cars.

Are all these instances breaking the 'spirit' of the HOV?[/quote]

If you live in DC and are driving to Springfield for dinner, you should get a ticket. [/quote]
