Explanation
The law requires motorists to maintain a minimum distance of 3 feet when passing a bicyclist on the road. This safety measure ensures that bicyclists have enough space to ride without the risk of being hit by passing vehicles. If there isn't sufficient space to safely pass, drivers must wait until it is safe to do so.
