I can't speak for your particular area but overall drivers don't give cyclists any respect on the road. They drive way too close, don't give the right - Krusty Jul 27, 06:20
are you not supposed to give 1m of space there like here? -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 06:17 8
- My understanding is the 3' rule is a state by state decision. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 27, 06:28 2
  - Three feet or "safe distance." I doubt if any agency considers less than three feet safe. -- (link) - mara Jul 27, 06:33 1
    - Great link! 👍 -- nm - Strongbad Jul 27, 06:35
- If there's room. If there's not, bikes get the whole lane. A passing car would have to use a different lane, just like passing a car. -- nm - mara Jul 27, 06:24 1

- oh for sure; but that still doesn't excuse lunatics on bikes with no common sense. -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 06:19 2
  - Lunatics in cars out number and are far more dangerous than lunatics on bikes. Cars are two ton machines that go as fast as they want. - Krusty Jul 27, 06:22 1
    - oh I don't doubt that. but since the new rules here bikers seem to think they are immune to damage or something -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 06:28
