I for one would be willing to bet that not one question on the test is about how motorists should deal with cyclists.
I know that in the California handbook there are some 65 pages of information of which 2 pages are devoted to motorcycles and bicycles... and not one single question on the test deals with how motorists in cars should deal with those on two wheels.
I just want at least one question on the test:
"Bicycists have the right to ride on the street and use the full lane."
a) Anytime the cyclist feels they need to.
b) Anytime.
c) All the time.
d) On every road except controlled access freeways.
(note, there is no real wrong answer...)
