Dog Gone Hampton, VA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #22 Aug 28, 2007 Fairness wrote: <quoted text> “HUG THE CURB”???? Where oh where in the laws of Virginia is that written? From VDOT ( http://www.vdot.virginia.gov/programs/bk-laws... )... "Bicyclists operating a bicycle on a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place under conditions then existing shall ride as close as safely practicable to the right curb or edge of roadway. Exceptions to this are when bicyclists are overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, preparing for a left turn, avoiding unsafe conditions, avoiding riding in a lane that turns or diverges to the right, riding on a one way street where bicyclists may ride as near the left-hand curb or edge of roadway, or when the lane width is too narrow to share with a motor vehicle. Additionally, bicycles are not excluded from riding on the highway shoulder."
Bill Saint Louis, MO	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #23 Aug 29, 2007 When the government pays for and gives me the vehicle it mandate me to drive I will drive it. Until that time I will drive what ever I want. If there comes a time when I feel the need to drive a rolling speed bump I will buy one, if required by a mandate I will expect the check for it BEFORE I buy it.

"Motorists must approach and pass a bicyclist at a reasonable speed at least two feet to the left of the bicyclist" Also note "safely practicable to the right curb".. Is 4 ft "safely practicable" Also note first statement... "Bicyclists and motorists basically have the same rights and duties, and the laws governing traffic regulation apply equally to both"
