I saw this earlier. That guy in the car had balls. Were I the cop I would have ticketed his obnoxious ***.

Wow. I'm just in awe that for lanes less than 14' wide, cyclists are entitled to take the entire lane and motorists MUST change lanes to pass.
In our area, a cyclist has been ticketed for riding not far enough to the right (by who's standard???) in a <11' lane!

hhmmm.... I think maybe these sort of laws need to be more accessible to both cyclists and cars. I *thought* that it was ALWAYS legal for a cyclist to take the lane if circumstances warranted it (i.e. ice in the bike lane or other hazards); but honestly, I'm not entirely sure of that. I wonder where I would find this info by state (you know, aside from asking dbf the attorney)...

"Laws" and "accessible" don't generally belong in the same sentence...
But a checklist of 50-state FAQs, like AAA has or at least used to have, would be handy.
What state are you in?
That would be a great project for the LAB, or even a joint project for LAB/ACA, since many ACA tours cross state lines and require the riders to know multiple states' laws. Hopping on over to volunteer...Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Oak, I'm in Wyoming and cycle frequently in CO. I lived there for a long time and thought I knew the rules there too... Thanks for the ideas of where to look...
