Laws that require motorists to give bicycle riders 3 feet of space when passing always sound like a good idea to me. It allows manuevering room for cyclists and reduces the air turbulence caused by passing vehicles.
As bicycle advocates work to get these laws passed state by state, I’ve noticed there’s some confusion about which states already have these laws on the books. So I did a little research.
