Hi, I’ve scoured the net for laws for scooters and I can’t find very much. I live in North Vancouver so there are a lot of hills. My scooter drops down to as low as 20 with some hills so, of course, drivers don’t like this. I move over to the right (bicycle lanes) but have been told that we are not allowed to use bicycle lanes.

Question: One thing worse than what you described last week is when there is a road obstruction and people seem to think they have the right to cross the centre line into oncoming traffic. Maybe you could address the legal side of that. My understanding is that oncoming traffic has the right of way.
Question: Can a funeral home employee use the HOV lane after picking of a deceased person when transferring to funeral home from place of death? Would the deceased person qualify as a second person for the HOV lane with the driver?
The collision referenced by this case occurred on Cornwall Avenue just east of Walnut Street in Vancouver, B.C. Marianne Dupre was riding her bicycle westbound on Cornwall and was being overtaken by a car driven by Teresa Patterson.
