Question 477
Can a mixed-use vehicle carrying only the driver ever use a high-occupancy vehicle (VAO) lane?
- Yes, if the driver is a novice driver.
- Yes, if the vehicle displays the disability sign.
- No, because it must carry the specified minimum number of people.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, if the vehicle displays the disability sign.
An authorized adaptable dual-purpose vehicle may use the HOV lane with only the driver on board if it displays the V-15 disability sign. This sign allows an exception to the minimum occupancy requirement, subject to the conditions for that section.
