This would be great! Right now afaik the law just says that drivers have to pass at a 'safe distance', would be much better to get a hard number in there.

I agree with the proposed law in principle but I worry that this is too subjective a measurement. How can an officer attest to the failure to give 3 or 5 feet given his viewing distance, angle, and the speed of the vehicle/cyclist?

I would prefer to see the law state that the passing vehicles driver-side wheels have to be clearly in the other lane. It accomplishes the same thing but it makes it much easier for the police to observe and testify to.

The law of physics says car meets bike, bike dies. Get off the road or you will die. Don't make laws.
