May a car transporting four people with a trailer use an HOV lane?
Traffic rules
Explanation
To use a **HOV lane** (High Occupancy Vehicle), a car must meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that it **can only transport people** and cannot carry additional cargo, such as a trailer.
- A passenger car carrying four people with a trailer does not meet the requirement of only transporting people, as the trailer is considered additional cargo.
- Additionally, the HOV lane is designed for vehicles that do not exceed **3,500 kilograms** in weight, and although the car itself might meet this limit, the trailer adds additional weight that could exceed this limit.
Therefore, a car with a trailer is not authorized to use an HOV lane, even if it carries four people.
