The other day someone I know was driving behind a bike that had to take the lane to not get doored and it was too narrow for passing. She had no idea about bikes getting doored, or passing too close, or why this bike was in the road instead of the sidewalk. It was just irritating to her. Know she knows, but I don't think she cares. She said it was "stupid". !@#$%^&*(
I did not include rules of the road for bikes when I taught my kids to drive. Did you?
Gee, I was a cyclist at 14, got a drivers licence when I was 16, bought my first car when I was 24, so I had 10 years as a transportational cyclist, before becoming a regular driver..... I seem to also remember getting a little booklet, around grade 6, that contained the Highway Traffic Act, as it applied to bicycles, it left out the parts that applied only to motor vehicles, but was a nice guide for many years. It must have been lost one of the times I moved, because I can't find it now, and I know where it would be, if I still had it.
