Re: Why isn't there 'Sharing the Road with Bicyclists' on DMV Papers?

[Michael J Rodney Sr.]

Florida's DMV handbook describes a bicycle as being a legitimate vehicle.
Although not covered in expansive detail, there are a few paragraphs that
cover the duties of the motorist (in respect to bicycles) and the duties of
the bicyclist when on the road.

The first two things that a newly liscensed driver forgets:

1. Driving is a privelege granted by the state.

2. A bicycle is a vehicle.

everyone understands this, the roads would be far safe for cyclists. but
then i am dreaming.
