I don't usually see a headline and get all "the world is a dystopian nightmare!" Or "I saw a Black Mirror episode about this once"

But this is really kinda hellish. Cause this same system could be (wrongly) used to "predict" criminal intent. The likelihood your child could become a criminal and arrest them before they even commit a crime

In my state, claiming the lane is legal and depending on the number of lanes and their width, vastly safer. When cyclists are in the side of a lane, motorists are encouraged to attempt to pass them within the lane, which has a nasty tendency to either clip the cyclist with their side mirror or force the cyclist into the doors of parked cars. If there is a wide shoulder though, then yes, cyclists should absolutely use that.

Most bike laws state that if a bicycle is on a road they must follow vehicle traffic laws. You're not supposed to ride two wide even as a motorcycle.

Furthermore laws usually state to ride next to the shoulder/curb so that vehicles can pass.

People doing the opposite are dicks. Am a cyclist
