The primaries are not over. You're my man.
Man, in that case, I can't see how it matters which side of the white line makes a difference. It does not here, other than to put more onus on the car if the cyclist is outside the white line. In fact, most pedestrians struck by vehicles do not result in charges if the pedestrian is inside the white line, but with bikes classified as vehicles, they have the lane.
In NC, we have misdemeanor death by vehicle. Consider those words. Death. Misdemeanor. WTF?
