I know she is a woman and pregnant, but this takes balls...
From today's Arizona Republic:
A pregnant Ahwatukee Foothills resident ticketed for driving in a carpool lane is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday to argue that her unborn child counted as a passenger.
Candace Dickinson, 23, hopes to overturn her penalty and prove her point that even though her child was still in the womb while she was driving on Interstate 10 on Nov. 8 in Ahwatukee Foothills, there still was a second person. Since then, Dickinson gave birth to her baby, a boy. Dickinson faces $390 in fines and is to appear in Phoenix Municipal Court at 1:30 p.m.
Frank Valenzuela, spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety, said a vehicle can't occupy the high-occupancy-vehicle lane during rush hours unless two or more people are in it. The statute doesn't define what a "person" is.
A novel defense, don't you think?
