1. You don't have to with a WOL either, the requirement is not more or less than with a BL stripe.
2. Can do the same riding 2-3' from curb in a WOL.
3. I find I need to pass busses, garbage trucks, post trucks, stalled cars, police cars with stopped vehicles just as much when riding a WOL or a BL.
4. WOL are designed for cyclists.
