Correct, but if the vehicle driver has NEXUS, then he is bound by the NEXUS rules, which say that all passengers must also have NEXUS when using the NEXUS lane in to the US. There's nothing in the NEXUS rules that say you can bring passengers who have GE but not NEXUS through the NEXUS lane. This is what the CBP officer was explaining to me, that while some CBP agents at the border will allow NEXUS drivers to do this, others won't, because it's a violation of the NEXUS rules. He emphasized that I should NOT do this.
It's easy to get around this though, by switching seats and having your GE-only passenger drive when using the NEXUS lane into the US. Then you'll both be in compliance.
