Traffic laws are in fact generally the same across the country, I see no reason this should be any different. And you seem to be missing my main point. What we need to accomplish is SAFE ROADWAYS for bikers, clearly marked properly set up bike lanes, etc.
Yeah god forbid we had general guidelines that could be applied using common sense for the specific situation....
It's so much better to have absolute rules designed for the average be applied to the extremes and enforced with draconian authority. That makes for a much happier free society. (Massive sarcasm alert)
When you drive 56mph on a 55mph zone you to self report your scofflaw behavior to the police and demand to be ticketed?
