Cars must use the other lane to pass regardless of whether the cyclists are single file or two abreast - it doesn't matter. If the roads were wide enough for a car and bike to coexist in the same lane then riding two abreast could impeded the flow of traffic. This has been discussed numerous times before.
That isn't what the deputy said according to the POA. You have interpreted the law to fit your desired outcome...imo. From one cyclist to another, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
