Let me be clear I think legal niceties come in a far second to real safety.
However, over the long term, the laws must be adapted to align with real safety.
(In the case of my road the sharrows were not due to the unquestionable wisdom of the designers. It was due to a CF.)
"Practicable" is really a rule of reason, you are supposed to use your judgment reasonably in determining the practicable far right position. I can't imagine a jurisdiction that would find that reliance on the sharrow to determine where that position is would be unreasonable.
