You do that

Actually, I found the handbook. It looks like they've changed the language a bit - they've removed the part about "even if they are traveling faster than the speed limit".


At any rate, this:

Quote:
If another vehicle wants to pass you,
you must move safely to the right, and you may
not increase your speed until the other vehicle
has passed you.
Combined with this:

Quote:
Bicycle riders on public streets and highways have the
same rights and responsibilities as automobile drivers.
Drivers of motor vehicles must treat bicycle riders the
same as drivers of other vehicles.
Seems to get pretty much the same meaning across, doesn't it?

It's interesting that they have to put "common courtesy" into the handbook so often. If only more drivers (of cars & bicycles alike) would be more courteous on the roads, I think the world would be a much happier place.
