[QUOTE=kalliergo]Well, the devil is in the details. Some of the "as far right as practicable" provisions in state vehicle codes are dangerous, discriminatory and unacceptable. Consider this provision of a model UVC, which would eliminate much of the discrimination and unnecessary danger for cyclists:
§ 11-301 Drive on right side of roadway—exceptions
(b) Upon all roadways any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal and lawful speed of traffic at the
time and place and under the conditions then existing shall be driven in the right-hand lane then available
for traffic, or far enough to the right to allow overtaking and passing by faster vehicles if such passing is
safe and reasonable, except under any of the situations listed below.
1. When overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction.
2. When preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.
3. When the operator must necessarily drive in a lane other than the right-hand lane to continue on
his intended route.
The intent of this subsection is to facilitate the overtaking of slowly moving vehicles by faster moving
vehicles, and shall not require the drivers of such slowly moving vehicles to risk their own safety in order
to facilitate overtaking.

You mean like this from the WIsconsin Statutes:
346.02
(4) Applicability to persons riding bicycles and motor bicycles.
(a) Subject to the special provisions applicable to bicycles, every person riding a bicycle upon a roadway or shoulder of a highway is granted all the rights and is subject to all the duties which this chapter grants or applies to the operator of a vehicle, except those provisions which by their express terms apply only to motor vehicles or which by their very nature would have no application to bicycles. For purposes of this chapter, provisions which apply to bicycles also apply to motor bicycles, except as otherwise expressly provided.
SUBCHAPTER II

(b) When overtaking and passing under circumstances in which the rules relating to overtaking and passing permit or require driving on the left half of the roadway; or
(c) When the right half of the roadway is closed to traffic while under construction or repair; or
(d) When overtaking and passing pedestrians, animals or obstructions on the right half of the roadway; or
