>>That is the trouble - knowing all the laws you might be breaking :-) A local woman was ticketed recently for passing a stopped school bus - on her bicycle. Yes, we all understand that she could have injured a child with her bike. So could a jogger or another kid on a skateboard. Read the below link and see if you can tell what "the law" really is...

Hasn't gone to court yet, but she did retain counsel. I found the above after posting and informed her, and to fire the lawyer. Makes one wonder why the deputy sheriffs still felt it necessary to issue the summons. Gee, they don't know the law? How can any of us?
