"I'm a Lawyer, I've had Cases"

I had a lawyer today about hit me today beacuse he was too cool to follow the law. HE informed me that I was not allowed to ride in the middle of the road. First of all If I WAS riding in the middle of the road, he would have hit me because he proceeded to squeeze between me the double yellow line and a solid row of oncoming traffic. When I informed him that under Florida Law, cyclist get the whole lane, he responded with the title of this post. So just so we're all on the same page.................the law states as follows...............................................................................................State Law says you must ride as far to the right as practicable. It does NOT say as far to the right as possible. Practicable means capable of being done within the means and circumstances present. A cyclist should maintain no less than 2 feet of clearance from the edge of usable pavement to have room to maneuver around obstructions and to be more visible to crossing traffic. (NOTE: useable pavement does not include the gutter pan or any area frequently obstructed by debris or other hazards.) In an extra-wide lane a cyclist should ride farther left—about 4 feet from the flow of traffic—to operate in the focus area of crossing traffic and reduce vulnerability to common collisions When a lane is too narrow for a bicycle and a car to share safely, the cyclist is entitled to the use of the entire lane. Within this lane, the cyclist usually rides on the right half to facilitate visibility for overtaking motorists, but should ride far enough left to discourage motorists from trying to squeeze past within the lane. Although the law uses the term "substandard" to discribe a lane that is not wide enough to share, these narrow lane-widths make up most of our roads. The less common "standard," wide curb lane is described below.....................................I'm just a guy that can read, and comprehend.
