That's my problem though. The cyclist can't determine it. If he could, an officer or a judge would be unable to override them. So now, it's "safe" as determined on a case-by-case basis by someone to-be-determined.
Hell, most people don't even know what practicable means. Most define it as "possible", as in "cyclists should stay as far right as possible".
If you ask ten people interpret a law and you get ten different answers, something's wrong.
