Just look at the speed that the RV was going! The driver was given a $500 ticket for almost killing 30 cyclists. Insane that they're even allowed to drive after that.

It's not a car lane, it's a road lane, and the maximum speed limit is 45mph. Bicycles have just as much right to road lanes as cars in most cases.

If someone is anxious driving 45mph next to people riding 15-25mph, perhaps they should slow down or move over until they no longer feel anxious.
