I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.Anwalthttp://www.ag-anwaltspraxis.ch/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597030563844330141.post-26056441960565835132009-05-16T11:03:00.000-07:002009-05-16T11:03:00.000-07:00Jeff, having received two citations from uninforme...Jeff, having received two citations from uninformed uniformed officers, I have a viewpoint to support your position, literally and figuratively.<br /><br />Your law has the same exception used to get my cases DISMISSED and I hope you never need to get this far into the grief.<br /><br />In some of the portions of your videos, I would have been riding about in the center of the lane, and sometimes more to the left, in order to reduce the frequency of unsafe passes. I've been criticized for my riding habits, but it's been only from untrained uneducated people, easily dismissed.<br /><br />Unfortunately, it would appear that you have some officials in that same state, and I mean mental state.<br />The exception listed in the jpg letters reads "3. When reasonably necessary to avoid unsafe conditions, including fixed or moving objects, parked of moving vehicles, pedestrians, animals, surface hazards or <I>substandard width lanes</I> that make it unsafe to ride along the right-hand edge or curb."<br /><br />In my state of FL, the FL Dept of Transportation states that fourteen feet is the width considered to be standard, and specifically reads that it is to be considered the minimum width for a bicycle and motor vehicle to occupy side-by-side.<br /><br />You can also find some great supportive references at Keri's Commute Orlando site. Here's a couple specific to our experiences: <br />http://commuteorlando.com/wordpress/2009/04/06/law-enforcement-bias-and-the-3ft-law/<br />http://commuteorlando.com/ontheroad/confidentcyclist.htmlfred_dot_unoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597030563844330141.post-14261228920473393952009-03-03T05:03:00.000-08:002009-03-03T05:03:00.000-08:00If you click on the link for the Wisconsin Bike La...If you click on the link for the Wisconsin Bike Lawyer on the right side of the page, he has a link with just about every group ride in the area. <BR/>Bikesafer<BR/>JeffJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162251254976949286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597030563844330141.post-88145527215724786642009-03-02T19:43:00.000-08:002009-03-02T19:43:00.000-08:00After explicitly quoting the definition of roadway...After explicitly quoting the definition of roadway, the prosecutor seems to totally ignore what it says. The roadway is defined to exclude the berm and/or shoulder and therefore only includes that portion of the highway that is *between* the foglines. Riding as far to the right as practicable "on the roadway" must therefore be done somewhere to the left of the fogline. Anything to the right of the fogline would be off the roadway, not on it.<BR/><BR/>And I agree that when going at or reasonably near the posted speed limit the stay right rule would not apply anyway.<BR/><BR/>BTW, are there any posted group rides in the area during the winter? When visiting our daughter in West Allis I have sometimes gone on the Cream City rides - but their schedule ends quite early in the year.<BR/>Peter<BR/>prathmann 'at' yahoo.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13618220142612158753noreply@blogger.com
