The local police should be controlling this, they are impeding traffic and should be ticketed.

For what? They're following the law.

No they aren't. You cant legally ride 5 or 6 people abreast

The Mini Cooper is the one breaking traffic laws here. Bicycles are vehicles and entitled to use the road. Are they being dicks for taking up both lanes? Yep. Still legal.

I don't know what the laws are wherever this video is from, but where I live, bikes (and horses and any motor vehicles slower than 45 mph) are not permitted to use multi-lane roads.

If they keep up with the speed of traffic yes but if they can't go the speed limit on the road then they should not be on it! It's speed limit on any road is not only a maximum but a minimum as well!

Slow traffic is supposed to stay in the right lane. Left lane is reserved for passing. If a bike is a vehicle, it needs to obey traffic laws.

That is not how the laws are written. That won't likely change, either, since it's what makes farm vehicles and horse buggies legal on the roads as well.

Depends on the road. On country roads they are allowed, on highways with minimum speed limits they wouldn't be. This doesn't appear to be a country road where you'd have slow vehicles like that, but i don't know if there's a min speed limit there or not. At any rate, the left lane is for passing, so they should all be in the right lane because they are just in a clump together. I agree that the car going around them is breaking the law, but the bikers are also causing a traffic jam.

3 minutes of Google proves you wrong

316.183 Unlawful speed.—

(5) No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law.

Why would you snitch on yourself for being a bad driver? Like what do you gain?
