Many Cities Are Looking At City Ordinances To Protect Bicyclists Because Drivers Are Not Staying A Safe Distance From Bicyclists

Many city ordinances including cities in Florida and Texas are researching proposed ordinances requiring motor vehicles to remain a safe distance from a bicycle rider. Of course, the question is what is safe and what is close enough. One proposed ordinance is that the car must stay three feet away from a bicyclist and six feet away from a bicyclist if it is a truck or SUV. Of course, enforcing this rule will be difficult as to who's to say what is three feet and what is six feet away. The bicycle injury attorneys at Nadrich & Cohen argue strongly in favor of such an ordinance. We have seen too many cases where cars are too close and sideswipe bicyclists.
