Stéphanie Émond slapped with $169 ticket, told passenger in carpool vehicle must have driver’s license

A mother from Montreal's West Island plans to contest a $169 traffic ticket she was given for driving in a lane reserved for buses, taxis and carpools with her daughter.
Stéphanie Émond was driving on Sources Boulevard with her nine-year-old daughter, and was heading back to the West Island to pick up her son from school when she was pulled over.
"I showed the police officer, 'Look, my daughter is here with me in the back,' and she told me that the passenger needs to have a driver's license."

Reserved lanes: reserved for whom?

You may think you’re familiar with the rules governing reserved lanes in Quebec. Well, brace yourself for a couple of surprises...

► TRUE OR FALSE? A motorist driving a child to daycare can use a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane.

True. There is no age requirement for carpooling. “In fact,” says Transport Québec spokesperson Solène Lemay, “a parent taking a child to daycare is assumed to be carpooling.”

► TRUE OR FALSE? In an urban area, a driver can use the reserved lane adjacent to the sidewalk if he intends to make a right-hand turn at the next intersection.

False. Before moving into that lane, the driver must wait until the double line (broken or solid) becomes a single broken line before the intersection.

► TRUE OR FALSE? Electric vehicles have access to all reserved carpool lanes in Quebec, even when the driver is alone.

False. It’s been a year since electric and hybrid cars with a green licence plate have been allowed access to some reserved lanes, even without a passenger. But this only applies to 10 or so highways – half of which are in Greater Montreal and half in the Quebec City area – that display the EV green logo road sign.

► TRUE OR FALSE? Contravening carpool-lane rules carries a fine and demerit points.

True and false. According to Article 310 of the Highway Safety Code, the HOV-lane violator is fined $100 to $200, but receives no demerit points to his driving record.

9 годишното се води person. Тези ленти не са обозначени за carpooling only.

Мен са ме глобявали заради присъствие върху нея 5 мин. преди изтичане на посочения върху знака часови интервал.

Вярно, че дете в колата едва ли карпува, но за тези ленти е нужно просто правило (2 или повече човешки същества), иначе както каза кпетров задълбаваме и става каша.
