When Sue Ann Yasger was stopped by a California Highway Patrol officer in October for driving in a Costa Mesa Freeway car-pool lane with no passenger in sight, she had a unique argument why


she shouldn’t be fined.


The 29-year-old Fullerton woman said she indeed had a passenger: her 5-month-old fetus.


The officer didn’t agree with her. But Central Municipal Court Judge Randell L. Wilkinson did. The judge on Tuesday dismissed the $52 traffic ticket.


“We will continue to issue citations to anyone driving alone in the car-pool lane,” said CHP spokesman Paul Caldwell in Santa Ana.


Yasger, whose baby is due in mid-March, said cheerfully that she isn’t worried about being stopped again in the car-pool lane.


“I’ll just wave my (newspaper) clippings about my case,” she said. “If that doesn’t work, then I’ll go back to court.”
