In Georgia you are supposed to be treated like any other vehicle. The law does require you to ride as close to the white line as possible. However that only applies to roads that are wide enough for a car to pass you in the same lane and allowing them to give you 3 feet of clear between you and them. That means on most two lane roads in Georgia a car is required t treat you like a slow car. They are supposed to get over in the other lane to pass. Of course our problem here is most of Georgia is not very bike friendly. Most drivers don't even know the bike laws much less follow them. Still I try and obey all laws when riding. If I am holding up traffic I will pull over when I can to allow these restless drivers to pass. We are also required to use all signals to turn, stop at signs and redlights, etc, which I do.
