[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bicyclist who is on the spectrum is making the same argument made by those who insist they can legally drive 55 mph in the far left lane on the Beltway. Sure, you can legally do that, but not safely, and that's the problem with cyclists on Wisconsin Ave at rush hour. Tone deaf.[/quote]

You cannot legally do that,  actually. Slower traffic is legally required to keep right on highways.

Wouldn't it be great if people "advocating for drivers" actually knew the laws about driving?[/quote]

Are we talking about law, custom or safety here? At what speed is a care considered a part of slower traffic and required to keep right? Please tell me the VA or MD statute that defines this. Thanks.[/quote]

The law in Virginia is you must be passing to use the left lane - IE you must be faster than the traffic in the lanes to the right.   There is no absolute minimum, it is relative.

Apparently this is not yet the law in Maryland, making it one of only 5 states where it is not the law.

PP might support the efforts to make it the law in Md.
