john, you first quoted the SMV
equipment requirements. not the SMV FRAP law of Idaho!
it is rank sophistry and utterly fatuous to suggest that two lane roads have a right hand lane and a left hand lane for same direction traffic.
Ignoring ones' own previously held reasonableness and committed to print belief about SMV FRAP laws is deceit.
Sophistic claims about FRAP law not applying on two lane roads completely ignores the development of paved roads in America, the historical basis for center lines on roads and the laws of all states regulating traffic under 'right half of road' laws that reserve the other half of the road for opposite direction traffic.
The side over the center line on a two lane road is NOT a 'left lane", it is the opposite lane, for traffic travelling in the oposite direction, giving vehicles in both directions a single lane in each direction. This, under the right half of roadway laws, the other half of a two lane road is generally useable only to pass and not as a 'left hand lane'
Under "
Right half of road, SMV vehicles use right hand lane or frap laws" similar to Idahos partially quoted by John (
see, john, you found it - Idaho DOES have a SMV FRAP law ) on two lane roads the slowly driven vehicle being passed has requirements to facilitate that pass along two lane roads.
there is only one reasonable explanation for 'right hand lane or FRAP' language in SMV FRAP laws.
suggestions to the contrary, and obtusely attempting to mislead the forum in multiple posts about states SMV FRAP laws, make it clear someone is having a dishonest conversation here.
In most all states, BIKE FRAP laws are far more permissive than SMV FRAP laws. some states like California have SMV FRAP laws that would even make operating a bike away from the right evidence usable in court as
expression of guilt, absent the BIKES FRAP law that allows California cyclists broad leeway in choosing a safe road position.
