Some woman tried this excuse on the 405 Car Pool lane. The CHP officer who pulled her over advised her that if her interpretation was correct, he would have to cite her for two persons in the same seat and two persons sharing a seat belt, and the fine for that was higher than the fine for the car pool violation. I don't know if Texas and other states have similar laws, but it would not surprise me either way.
