Re: Do you follow the traffic laws?

First of all, stay off the 'highway'!!  That is, unless, you are talking about the state highway system that, goes along regular roads, as opposed to the U.S. highway system, that is not part of the state highway system. As for, my riding on sidewalks, forget it!!!! The width on the sidewalk, between a parking meter and, the front door of a proprietor, is not as wide as you think. Anyway, Here in Minnesota, it is illegal to ride on the sidewalk. Personally, I wouldn't ride on the sidewalk because, while there may be more hazards in the street, there is wider berth, in which, to avoid them. I also wear a reflective windbreaker when I ride, regardless of the temperature. |

Re: Do you follow the traffic laws?
Grant another you said was "I know we have the right of way but that scares me when a car running 70 mph come up behind you when your going 10mph".
Also, I pulled up some info from the Georgia Dept. of Motor Vehicles Basic Speed Rule: No person shall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard for the actual and potential hazards than existing. Statutory Speed Limit: 70 MPH on interstate system or on physically divided highways outside of urban areas with a population > 50,000 Noting these two details, you should not even be riding in an area where, the posted speed limit is anywhere near that fast!!!! While I can go 50MPH in some situations, that is only when, coming down a hill. The speed limit all over the mid-size city I live in, is 30MPH. |
