North Carolina bike laws
[Feb. 10, 2005] I suggest both bikers that ride on roads and non-bikers that drive review the NC law regarding bicycles.
The major point is that bikes are considered vehicles for all driving laws. For example, passing a biker (or group of bikers) on a solid yellow line is actually against the law, but a courteous biker will ride single file on the far right to allow this if it is safe. (The same holds true for other slow vehicles we see on our county rodes such as farm tractors.) By Sean Butler
