The way I ride, like I said, they only way I'd be getting insults from drivers, is if THEY did something wrong. I fail to see how me getting out of their way faster is going to cause them to throw insults at me.
And again, it's a rule that seriously discourages bike use. I want to use the bike path, as it's much safer then riding in traffic (and that's what it's there for), but the idea is totally useless If I have to stop, get of my bike, walk across, get back on my bike, every single block when I come to an intersection. I'd just about get there faster walking.
Surely the law isn't intended to have that outcome.
