Protecting Our Rights from GroupThink: Revisted
Are bicyclists required or expected to permit motorists to violate the law?
Passing within 3 feet is of course a violation now in Florida. As someone who spent 20 years hugging the white line, and the past 10 riding more assertively, and has been passed by probably a million motorists in his lifetime, it’s obvious to me that hugging the edge invites close passing while lane control does not.
Here’s another illustration to show the dangers of having a large group ride single-file along the edge. Thanks to Keri Caffrey for the truck & trailer illustration.
And if a cyclist is hit in such a scenario, count on the driver claiming the cyclist “swerved into me; there was nothing I could do,” and the officer going along with it.
