If that is true, then can you have a vase with a cremated relative in your passenger seat and qualify as two people?– Tom Anderson, Lake ForestA. No, and so no again.“A corpse or a vase of cremated remains does not qualify as a second passenger,” said Mitch Smith, an officer and spokesman for the California Highway Patrol out of its Westminster station house. “It’s the same thing as an unborn child, it’s not going to count.”Smith offered up other unsuccessful attempts officers hear or see:— The driver claims to have avoided a collision.— “I was just using this lane to pass.”— A Halloween mask attached to the passenger’s headrest. “That happens frequently,” Smith said.Driving tip: If you are solo and take a carpool lane by accident, don’t cross ...
