reminder for my fellow Oaklanders regarding bike/car interactions

VEH 21211 says that stopping a car in a bicycle lane is illegal, with few rare exceptions. (Note: waiting for someone to come out and get in your car is not one of them. Park properly.)

VEH 21202 grants cyclists the right to take entire use of the lane when a designated bike lane does not exist. This includes granting cyclists full use of the lane when a "protected" bike lane exists; that is considered a "separated bikeway", and cyclists still have the right to full use of the road lane if needed, for example, when turning or when the separated bikeway is obstructed or for any reason, at the cyclist's sole discretion.

When passing a bicycle on the road, VEH 21760 stipulates that cars must remain at least 3 feet from any part of any cyclist while in motion, and in the event of any collision of any part of the car with any part of the cyclist, the motorist is automatically assumed to be at fault if they were in violation of this 3 foot rule.

That means, that if I, a cyclist, can touch your car, then any resulting contact with your car is, legally speaking, your own damn fault.

Please stop trying to run me off the road. Thanks.
