Varies state to state, I think. Maybe a hint that you are holding up traffic?

it can be unnerving when it happens to you. but i do it when on my bike or in the truck IF there is plenty of room to do so and I slow down to do it.

I had a young girl sneak between me and the curb to make a right turn. When she moved, she got a big black boot stripe down the length of her Lexus. Thought the guy behind her was going to die laughing.

On a 2 lane road with only a shoulder I dont think it is legal. It happens.

Not legal in Al. but very common. You dont have to hold up traffic, they are going around!l.ray[sm=biker.gif]
