Malarkey. If bicycles have mandatory registration and or insurance, then the "Far right as practicable" clause needs to be repealed. If I have to do all that crap, then I want my lane. I will stop for each and every red light right in the MIDDLE of my lane. When the light goes green, I will accelerate at my leisure while holding my position. If every registered beach cruiser with flowers on the basket, every roadie, every commuter (numbering into the thousands where I live) stop for each and every light IN THE LANE of their choice and never filter to the front.....do you know how effed-up traffic will be here (and in most cities)?

Do you think motorists want THIS^^^??? REALLY!!!????

The current bike laws are wrong. They are designed to discourage people from cycling. If you look at statistics from NYC, and they are vast, legions of pedestrians are hurt and killed by auto traffic, many of them breaking all the rules. So, pedestrians should also be educated, registered, licensed, and insured by the DOT according to this "thinking". There are also studies that motorcycles and scooters filtering and running lights (Italy for example) actually LESSENS traffic jam severity in crowded city environments. Auto drivers don't like it because someone is getting ahead of them (boohoo), but they would like it even less if, in places with heavy 2-wheel vehicle use, we all queued up in line at every light.

I am doing my best with the talents I possess. I am not qualified to "un-brainwash" the masses. That is why I call for a cycling revolution. We (cyclists) are being taxed, but not represented or protected by The Law. Perhaps a cycling revolution will take on the shape of claiming the entire right lane as I mentioned above. What we have now makes no sense in urban/city settings. That is why so many cyclists are ALREADY revolting against the system, whether they realize it or not.
