Quenton, All,

the driving in bikes lanes seems to be answered sufficiently, but your second question: how to ask for a "sting".

If you are seeking an enforcement action in Portland, you may call (503) 823-SAFE, and ask them to follow up

They pass into the bike and/or parking lane. sometimes rolling from as far back as 6 car lengths. I'm pretty used to it, but it really irritates me. Are there any laws that pertain to this type of driving?

This not only disrupts the flow of traffic, but has caused several accident, some right in front of me, from cars in the oncomming lane turning left who don't see these drivers comming around.

don't get me wrong. I'm all for sharing the road, and do it as respectively as possible on all occasions.

I remember something similar but contradictory while reading the drivers manual years ago.

Is the bike lane considered a viable route for an automobile?

how would one go about requesting "stings" at certain intersections? I can think of a dozen where this happens regularly.
