Where to find out about driving laws in states before you visit: Roadshow
Q: Since you’ve covered cyclists a lot lately, can I comment on the nightmare that is being a cyclist dealing with others on bikes who are a constant danger to everyone by riding on sidewalks, riding against traffic, riding too fast on their “electric bikes” , and running stop signs and red lights?
As a daily bike commuter, these jerks are a bigger danger to me than cars. I was almost in a head-on collision with one of these “salmon” recently. They expect us law-abiding cyclists to be the ones who swerve into traffic to avoid them. No amount of arrows and signs seem to convince these road hazards to behave.
We have a fantastic cycling infrastructure in the Bay Area, but these dimwits ruin my ride daily. Can anything be done? This behavior by a driver would end up with a suspended license or an impound. That should happen to bikes, too.A: I understand your perspective, and it’s a valuable one to hear. There’s not a lot that can be done in the short term, but if the number of people commuting by bicycle continues to increase, penalties could become tougher.
Q: I am recently retired and starting to drive to other states. I wonder about common driving rules in other states, like carpool lanes and turning right at a red light. Is there an easy way to find these rules?A: Laws are similar in many states, but there can be important differences. To understand the laws for states you’ll visit, check their driver’s manuals. This website links to traffic law information for each state:Q: When traveling long distances, I use cruise control.
I don’t speed up to 80 mph to pass slower vehicles, even though many people drive this fast. I am sure that I am temporarily seen as a roadblock in the “fast lane.”A: It’s good to hear your thoughts on this. And it’s good that after you’re done passing, you move back to the right.
