My brother (a cop) once stopped a guy in a truck for using the commuter 
lane[1] with only one person in the truck. His argument was that since the 
back of the truck held a couple dozen frozen bodies on the way to the 
medical school, he had plenty of people to meet the commuter limit. Judge 
said "We'll let you off this time, but don't do it again." :-)

There was also a case here where a lady got stopped for being alone in the 
commuter lane. She pointed out she's 8 months pregnant, and if she can't 
have an abortion it must be because the "baby" counts.  The judges actually 
agreed with this one. :-)




[1] Special lane on the freeway reserved for cars with multiple people, 
which tends to go faster during rush-hour, because americans are too lazy to 
find neighbors going the same way at the same time to save gas. :-)
