I have yet to see a law requiring me to operate a motorcycle, or bicycle, in the gutter. Further, I seldom will go to the extreme right while making right turns on my motorcycle because people will pull up on the left and make a right turn in front of me. Even on a bicycle, riding in the gutter is seldom the safest choice.
On this one I have to disagree with you. I think the safest thing would have been for riders to not have been passing one the right while going through a red light. If the vehicle in front of a person is slowing and has their right turn signal on, a prudent rider would not pick that moment to pass them on the right. However, it you are approaching the issue from the point of view that the bicyclist is always right, no matter what jacka$$ stupid thing they are doing, then you will, of course, disagree.
Not a big deal, I no longer go to that school. I am now in China where bicyclists are considered to have no traffic rights.
