=v= Sadly, not one of these really explains the right and necessity to take the lane. _Jym_ You'll note that the first five PSAs include endorsement by the NCDOT. The last four do not. The reason is that they were written separately, and NCDOT thought the last four were too assertive of cyclists' right to claim a travel lane for their political comfort. They feared a backlash from either the public or others within DOT and preferred to use much more passive language that in my view watered down the message too much. I've been trying to get the DOT to go on record supporting the right to use an entire lane when required, but they aren't comfortable doing so even though the bike/ped division acknowledges this is often important for safety.

All you really need to know about bicycling or motorcycling is, when you go out on the road, assume everyone in a car or truck is trying to kill you. If I really assumed that, I'd give up bicycling. If any substantial percentage of motorists really were sociopathic killers who wished to kill all road cyclists, nobody would be able to bike a single mile on the roads without being crippled or killed. Not necessarily sociopathic killers, but stupid, inattentive, ill trained, on auto-pilot, dealing with the kids fighting in the back, answering their cell-phone... |
