Woman challenges driving fine on basis her pregnancy means two people in car

[Bluesofa]

A pregnant Texas woman said her unborn baby should count as a second passenger in her vehicle, citing Texas' penal code in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned, after receiving a ticket.

Brandy Bottone, 32, of Plano, Texas, was pulled over on June 29 after driving in an HOV lane, or high-occupancy vehicle land, according to NBC-DFW. Bottone was stopped by a Dallas County Sheriff Department who was looking for drivers violating the HOV lane rules.

The HOV lane requires drivers to have at least one passenger in their car while using the lane.

Should also count as 2 for driving without a belt, then. 

And will have to pay the bill for 2 in hospitals, entrance fees, airplane tickets, .....?

I'm surprised the officer didn't try to fine her for having two people on a seat designed for one.

Does this apply to Transgenders, also?

As long as you keep your foetus in a cardboard on the passenger seat, belted up, then yes.
