Cyclist Passing Laws: Math, Myths and Road Reality

Doug Dahl breaks down the spatial math behind cyclist passing laws on two-lane roads. Ford F-150s measure 8 feet wide with mirrors, but most road lanes are only 10-12 feet.

The solution isn't aggression—it's understanding when patience beats risky maneuvers on double yellow line roads. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-passing-a-cyclist-law-myth-and-a-little-patience/ #CyclistSafety #TrafficLaws #RoadSharing #Transportation #TheWiseDrive #Opinion #DrivingSafety #ClarkCounty
