Hands-free but not risk-free - the one-touch limit - Bainbridge Island Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 1:30 am Friday, September 18, 2026 Q: As long as I’m using my phone hands-free, I understand the law allows touching the screen to do some functions on the phone. But how much touching is allowed? A: Before we get into what you can do, allow me to share a phrase I used to tell my kids: Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Traffic laws set the bare minimum standard for a driver. If you follow all traffic laws, that doesn’t make you a great driver; it just makes you a legal one.
Bike lanes aren’t two-way streets - Bainbridge Island Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 1:30 am Friday, September 11, 2026 Q: When a road has bike lanes on each side, are cyclists required to ride with traffic? There are arrows in the bike lanes indicating which direction the cyclist “should” be riding, but I see people riding either way all the time. A: If there’s one thing the internet confirms repeatedly, it’s that the link between the dumbness of an activity and a person’s unwillingness to participate in it is tenuous at best. From stunts involving milk crates, mouthf
Crashes, Crime, and Confusion: Who’s responsible in parking lots? - Bainbridge Island Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 1:30 am Friday, September 4, 2026 Q: Who is responsible for traffic enforcement, and crime generally, in grocery store parking lots? I was recently involved in an incident and nowhere was any traffic enforcer visible. The store’s management made it clear it wasn’t their responsibility. Unlike large malls, they had no security. A: I’m a traffic safety nerd, not a crime nerd, so I’ll cover what the law says about traffic enforcement on private property, and I’ll pretend to know what I’m
Passing a cyclist: law, math, and a little patience - Bainbridge Island Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 1:30 am Friday, August 21, 2026 Q: On a two-lane road with little or no shoulder and a double yellow center line and a cyclist in the lane, who has the right-of-way, or is there one? I’m happy to share, but I was also taught not to cross a double yellow center line. As traffic backs up behind a conga line of cyclists, walkers, and/or strollers, angst builds and safety be damned. A: Maybe the problem here is that we have unrealistic expectations about driving. Also, where do you drive?
Half the road, full stop: understanding pedestrian right-of-way - Bainbridge Island Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q: How long do you have to wait after a pedestrian in a crosswalk passes your car before you can go? And if a pedestrian is coming from the other side of the street, do you have to wait for them, or can you go before they get to your lane? A: When I was a kid, I remember arguments about which superhero was best. Is the Hulk stronger than Thor? Is Wonder Woman faster than Shazam? A few years ago, the movie Batman vs. Superman answered one superhero riddle: if the Batmobile crashes into Superman,
