"Within Reason"?
"Within reason"? A year or more ago a BF member posted that Massachusetts law says bikes have to obey the same traffic laws as motorists "within reason". I'm pretty sure it was in this forum because it was specifically about Mass. law.
I'm curious about that phrase "within reason". The RMV has a PDF of the driving regs online and sometime within the last few months I looked through the references to bikes. I don't recall seeing that anywhere. Of course reason applies to everything, but I wonder if there is a legal justification for that phrase.
No, AFAIK I'm not in trouble for being unreasonable, except unreasonably curious which might get me into trouble.
