Interesting right off the bat that a bicycle in the State of New York is apparently not considered a vehicle.
That's one difference I don't think I like at all. Being considered a vehicle is what gives me more rights to ride my bike where I desire and follow a standards set of rules with less if's and's or but's that both motor vehicles drivers and I will be aware of. How likely is it that a motor vehicle driver will know the differences a cyclist is supposed to follow on the road? Dumb motorist's notwithstanding!
I was just looking up the topic of the thread. Found those incidentally. I guess I should have expected that someone would want to argue about something that isn't the topic of the thread and further derail it.
I would hope the things I pointed out would be just food for thought and others investigate for themselves without thinking they have to one-up the other person.
You really went off the tracks with
this nonsense.

Except what you "pointed out" was misleading.
