Texas bill for fetus in carpool lane

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-w...edium=referral

When the girl originally argued that since the fetus is a life then she should be allowed to be in the carpool lane because it states that you just need to have two people in the car, I laughed and said touche. Makes sense due to technicality. BUT THE WHOLE POINT IS TO SAVE CARS ON THE ROAD!?

Instead of changing the law to say that you need to have a second person that is of legal driving age or with a valid license, they go the completely illogically opposite way. How are these people so fcking stupid!?

The whole point is less traffic for people that are carpooling. But the answer is to just open up the lanes to everyone. An extra lane on the freeway is better that one whole lane with 10% utilization.

The whole point is to encourage carpooling to get cars off the road by offering less traffic as an incentive. You can argue that the extra time the other cars spend in traffic offsets the gains made by a few people hooking up to carpool, but this law is idiotic.
