Is a moped allowed to drive in a High Occupancy Vehicle (VAO/HOV) lane if it is carrying two people?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is No, it is not allowed. To understand this, we must distinguish between motorcycles and mopeds under VAO lane regulations: Prohibition by vehicle type: The use of the lane designated for VAO (HOV) is strictly limited to motorcycles, passenger cars, adaptable dual-purpose vehicles, and buses (among other specific ones). Mopeds are forbidden from using these lanes, just like trucks or vans, regardless of how many people are traveling on them. Location: Generally, VAO lanes are located on motorways or dual carriageways, roads where mopeds are generally forbidden from entering. Therefore, having a passenger meets the 'high occupancy' requirement, but it does not meet the requirement for the type of vehicle suitable for the lane.
