ETA: It's awful. According to the judge, the cyclist should be pulling over to the side of the road every time a car wants to pass him. It's sufficient to essentially bar cyclists from roads entirely.
He doesn't say that. He says that the passed vehicle should move to the right side of the roadway. I do understand the "take the lane" position, but Massachusetts law is clear about this, and has no provision for multi-laned roads (which probably needs to change).
Judge made the proper decision. Now it's time for legislators to get involved and change the law.
