Carpool Lane: "2 or more persons per vehicle"
CA Vehicle Code: '"Person" includes a natural person, firm, copartnership, association, limited liability company, or corporation.' (http://dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d01/vc470.htm http://dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d01/vc470.htm)
Pretty reasonable argument in the abstract.
But I don't think that the Articles of Incorporation should be considered a physical manifestation of that corporation, so I don't see how you could claim that the corporation was "in the vehicle".
- anigbrowl 14y agoMeaningless without consideration of the precedent. sloppy drafting, I agree, but we need to question whether 'person' is used in the context of ownership/liability here (in which case it makes perfect sense) or in the context of driver and passenger (in which case it doesn't, but which courts have likely settled already).

I'm not sure as I haven't studied it, but I suspect the corporation 'lives' at the address for service; alternatively, in a filing cabinet in the CA Secretary of State's office ;-) It certainly doesn't travel around with its papers, any more than you are your passport.
