California Criminal and DUI Defense Law Firm, Virtuoso Criminal and DUI Lawyers (www.virtuosolaw.com), offers their experience with California carpool violations. In their recently released YouTube video, it is discussed that the carpool violation alone does not usually carry a point count against a driver’s record. However, Mr. Vaswani explains that getting pulled over while driving in a carpool lane in California not in accord with the regulations associated with the lane can lead to fines that are very expensive. Carpool lanes have different regulation requirements, including but not limited to, having a passenger(s) between designated hours or around the clock.
Mr. Vaswani says, “Examples for a defense pertaining to this violation are that the driver was complying with an emergency while pulling into that lane, the driver was in fact not driving in the carpool lane or it was not during the requisite hours that the carpool lane is actually enforced.”
