This Funny Video Shows Why You Should Give 3 Feet When Passing
Would you walk into an almost-empty movie theater, only to sit directly next to a kissing couple? Didn’t think so. That’s what the Santa Rosa Street Smarts Program is trying to make clear with this new video about safe passing distance.
In 1973, Wisconsin became the first state to enact a law requiring that drivers must leave at least three feet of road when passing cyclists. Since then, over half of the states have adopted the rule. Like this video shows, keeping the proper amount of distance is more than just safe—it’s plain good manners, too.
