I think the law should take second place behind common sense on the bike vs car vs golf cart vs walkers issue.
The need to "swerve" out and around the biker often occurs because a driver suddenly comes up behind a biker they could not see in advance, in the dusk or in their clothing that's not reflective or neon colored. It seems like they have no fear of a 3,000+ vehicle hitting them accidentally.
