Under a bill filed by a GOP state lawmaker known more for his provocations than his legislative record, pregnant Texans would be able to drive in the high occupancy vehicle lane by claiming their fetus as the second person in their car. House Bill 521, filed Monday by Texas Rep. Briscoe Cain, R-Deer Park, would allow pregnant drivers to use the HOV lane “regardless of whether the vehicle is occupied by a passenger other than the operator’s unborn child.” Branded one of the state’s “worst legislators” by Texas Monthly, Cain made his name in the Lege by talking smack and attempting to provoke Democrats.
