why do we as drivers have to make changes when it shud be a 2 way situation…how many times do u see a biker, crawl up onto the back end of our vehicles, slide between 2 vehs or even take the emergency ln?…where is the responsiblity? i used to drive a big rig, even driving by a car that wind gust can move the veh…but if we have been instructed correctly how to drive and assume the responsiblity of a driver when we accept our license, this takes into account that nobody wants to take responsibility…in today\’s society, it is happening more and more…safe driver is the responsibility of all drivers…also, the 3ft clearance? is that from the vehicle or the lane? because that whole lane is belongs to that driver…so i agree that both parties are responsible!
What if a motorcycle decides to pass a car or truck. Do they have to allow 3 feet in between as well? That would eliminate their driving up the middle of two lanes of traffic that has stopped or slowed.
It is rather difficult at times to allow 3 ft space when the bike operators are riding on the side of a 2-lane road with no bike lane and, most times, they are riding side-by-side, and traffic is moving along at 60 MPH in both directions. Sometimes you just can not move to the oncoming lane. It is not only drivers of vehicles that have to be considerate and respectful…

Evil,
You forgot your helmet one too many times, they\’re talking about bikes not motorcycles.

Don\’t be too hard on Evil, reading is difficult here in the south.
