Equal rights and responsibilities, sounds like she is ignoring the latter.
Or it could be that she's doing the best she can on a busy road, and drivers who object to whatever delay she's creating keep complaining and the cops do what they can.
She does have the right to ride in a lane on that road. The issue before the court is whether the impact of her exercise of that right is enough to warrant restricting it. The other issue is whether the citations issued represent legitimate reckless driving or harassment with the intent of making her go away.
If the prosecutor is to be believed that it's about her own safety, who determines whether alternatives are in fact safer, and what would be reasonable in terms of inconvenience?
