Like Nick said, keep away from the law. "a picture of "Yosemite Sam" holding his TWO 6 shooters" ...this will bring some levity into the picture. ========================================= Thanks Kim! what happened today to get you riled up? ========================================= On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 12:11 PM, Ellis, Nick < [email protected]> wrote: These cases deal with negligence of driver and cyclist. Be careful what you ask for. A bike is supposed to have reflectors on it (front and back). I'm pretty sure nobody has a reflector on their bike. This will hurt you when riding very early or very late. The law is pretty simple - drivers are supposed to give you 2' when passing you and should not pass unless they can safely do so. A bike is generally treated as a car, so no double pace lines; no rolling through red lights (I plead guilty), etc. I'd keep away from the "law" in your sign. Just remind folks of basic safe driving principles.

It also depends on what G.S. 20-150.1 says. Nick should be able to see if there is any pertinent cases that have been in the courts to test it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto: [email protected]] On Behalf Of Kim Benson Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 11:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [COWs] New sign--new your input ASAP :) I found this under the bicycle laws of NC. 20-149. Overtaking a vehicle. (a) The driver of any such vehicle overtaking another vehicle proceeding in the same direction shall pass at least two feet to the left thereof, and shall not again drive to the right side of the highway until safely clear of such overtaken vehicle. This subsection shall not apply when the overtaking and passing is done pursuant to the provisions of G.S. 20-150.1.
