Thanks Maxine, I am referring to quote in the SUN by the MVA spokes person.

MVA's argument appears to hing on this bit of law:

§ 21-1202. Traffic laws apply to bicycles and motor scooters.
Every person operating a bicycle or a motor scooter in a public bicycle area has all the rights granted to and is subject to all the duties required of the driver of a vehicle by this title, including the duties set forth in § 21-504 of this title.
So everything a motor vehicle can and cannot do same goes with a cyclists. End of story.


I am asserting this is the law (which it is):

§ 21-1202. Traffic laws apply to bicycles and motor scooters.
Every person operating a bicycle or a motor scooter in a public bicycle area has all the rights granted to and is subject to all the duties required of the driver of a vehicle by this title, including the duties set forth in § 21-504 of this title, except:
(1) As otherwise provided in this subtitle; and
(2) For those provisions of this title that by their very nature cannot apply.
Damn MVA can't quote more then the first line of any bicycle law. If someone gets a ticket for doing less the 15mph below the speed limit don't say I wasn't concerned. Approaching a AAG is something for someone more qualified then myself or anyone here, a negative ruling could be devastating.
