Slingshot
My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Virginia for riding my Slingshot in the HOV lane. I thought I was riding a motorcycle. The Federal Government classifies this vehicle as a motorcycle, however, Virginia recognizes the Slingshot as a "Autocycle". Under Virginia law motorcycles are allowed in the HOV lane but apparently not Autocycles. If the federal government recognizes it as a motorcycle can I successfully argue that the supremacy clause of Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution allows my right to be treated as if I was legally riding a motorcycle in the HOV lanes?
