DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is NO. According to General Traffic Regulations, the use of a High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane is limited to motorcycles, passenger cars, and adaptable mixed vehicles, generally occupied by the minimum required number of people. However, there is an explicit prohibition: vehicles with trailers cannot use the HOV lane under any circumstances, regardless of the number of passengers traveling in the car or if the Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM) of the combination is less than 3,500 kg.
