a funny example of sharing the road

So funny!

Florida police were making a training video on how to take the lane when there is no bicycle lane. A motorist behind the photographer obviously couldn't see that there was a cop on the bike in front. Have a look at what happens when the motorist lays on the horn to get the bikes to move over.

FYI - you'll see some text that describes the Florida law on sharing the lane. I researched the California law for sharing the lane and found that California is vague on it. It reads "...ride on the right, but not so far that you might hit the curb. You could lose your balance and fall into traffic. Do not ride too far to the right when a traffic lane is too narrow for a bicycle and vehicle to travel safely side by side."
