AM in sucked! at area where 4 lanes and dummy middle lane is, a cop i assume was on the way to work, or undercover (had uniform on but driving blue/green camery) pulled next to me, told me i needed to get off the road, that this area was not for bikes. i told him that i have the same rights and responsibilities on the road as he did, legally.
he stated he would give me a summons next time and drove off. this helped get me stay fired-up for the day. it's bad when the law enforcers are not clear about the laws. now i spent another 2 hours looking for NJ specific statutes so i can copy,high-lite, and educate our local policeat the station. NJ legal website is down today! i have contacted the Bicycle Coalition of South Jersey too.
(this is not the first time the police were not clear about laws here).
ride home was good! vent over...
