6 Chapter Educator s Corner Do You Know the Law? By Bob Berry You come to a 4-way stop at the same time as another bike arriving at the left cross street. Who has the right of way? You get caught going 62 in a 55 mph zone. You get a ticket (not a warning), but there are no points and nothing on your record. How did that happen? You re the tail gunner on a group ride. As the group begins to merge onto I-10 you protect the lane by crossing the space marked with white lines between the ramp and the right lane of I-10. A Highway Patrol officer flags you down and writes you a 3- point ticket and sends you to traffic school. What happened? Good for you if you know the answers. If not, then it might be time to review AZ traffic laws at Title=28. There is some pretty good stuff there, especially if you are having trouble going to sleep. But, kidding aside, we should know the basics to stay safe. OK. The answers: The answer to the 4-way stop situation is no-one has the right-of-way. Yes, the rider at the left cross street must yield to you as the rider on the right, but if he/she fails to do so and you proceed into the intersection at the same time resulting in a crash, both riders can be cited costing you 6 points on your license. There are no traffic laws that give unofficial vehicles and even most official vehicles the right-of-way at any time. The second situation is one in which it pays to be nice to the officer talking to you. He/she has the option of not writing you a speeding ticket, but a ticket for Waste of Finite Resources. This is only applicable on 55 mph highways with your speed under 65. So, be polite and ask for that one since it will not go on your driving record. The tail gunner in the third situation crossed a gore area costing him 3 points. A Gore Area is the space between a through roadway and an exit or entrance ramp. And it s not only for the interstate. You can see gore areas next to right turn only lanes and pretty much anywhere lanes divide to separate traffic moving in different directions. There is also the 5-car rule that says vehicles travelling at speeds less than normal traffic on two-lane roads must pull to the right to let following vehicles pass if there are five or more backed up behind them. I can think of a few situations while following an RV around Strawberry and Pine that I muttered into the intercom where is a Cop when you need one. Title 28 covers headlight modulators, motorcycles in HOV lanes, definition of an intersection (for those of you who have been caught by the intersection cameras), prima facie speed limits (did you know the speed limit on rural roads in AZ is 65 unless otherwise posted), and a host of other laws with which you can impress (or bore) your friends with at the next ice cream run. Be smart. Be safe. Have fun. Chapter Safe Miles Program Please remember to submit your miles each month at the chapter meeting on the sign in sheet or them to Nancy Hrigora at nancyhrigora@hotmail.com by the end of each month. Please put SAFE MILES AZ-K in the subject line. This makes it easier to identify your . CHAPTER AZ-K 2014 SAFE MILES GOAL 160,000 MILES per YEAR
