A: (2) When operating a bicycle upon a roadway, a bicyclist must exercise due care when passing or overtaking a vehicle that is standing or proceeding in the same direction.

Bicyclists are now considered like another car on the roadway under the new bike legislation in Mississippi. A bicyclist should use common sense when attempting to pass or overtake a car in its same lane.

If you have a bicycle law question a Mississippi attorney may be able to help you with your question.
