[QUOTE="stevetheupsguy, post: 561829, member: 9662"] The bike should have yielded to you as you were turning and it was behind you, though if I see a bike in the same situation I usually ease up and let it pass, clearing the sidewalk as I make my turn. You're a skilled driver, Upstate, not many people would have cared. Very true. This is why they have so many "Bike's sharing the road" signs. DS, you have issues! [B]Legal status of bicycles[/B] (Sections 316.003(2), (10) and 316.2065(1), friend.S.) A bicycle is classified as a vehicle. A person in control of a vehicle on a street or highway is a driver. As a driver, a cyclist must follow the traffic rules common to all drivers. As the driver of a bicycle, he must also obey regulations adopted specially for bicycles. A person riding a bicycle has all the rights applicable to any driver, except as to special regulations for bicycles. Take it easy there buddy, we're not out to get you.:happy2: Sounds like you're preaching a double standard, bh. The facts are, it is the company's truck/pkg car, but, since there is a bid driver on the route, he/she bears the burden of responsibility, as the cover driver just uses it once in awhile. If you want to get technical, is that car you "own" really "your" car, or the banks? How about your house? See what I'm saying? If a driver has a bid route and always drives the same pkg car he should be able to leave his personal stuff inside and not have to carry it back and forth daily. As for the cover driver, it's their responsibility to remove trash that they caused throughout the day. Would it be alright for the cover driver to leave a urine filled bottle behind? C'mon, what's right is right. I can understand adjusting mirrors and seats, but leaving junk behind is just wrong. JMHO, as always. [/QUOTE]
