Insightful info for new (and experienced!) drivers
What’s the safety passing rule in your state?
Not every state has a three feet rule—some call for more room to safely pass cyclists, others for less. And some don’t have a rule at all.
To find out the law in your state and the District of Columbia, check out the Safely Passing Bicycling Chart from the National Conference of State Legislatures.
What’s taught to new drivers in your state?
We know first-hand that state manuals don’t necessarily teach Share the Road basics to new drivers.
Driver Education: What States Teach About Biking, a recent report by the League of American Bicyclists, covers the current state of driver’s ed and provides solid recommendations on the steps states can take to modernize it.
What’s going on in the mind of a bicyclist?
We love this podcast episode from Ford Driving Skills for Life’s The Daily Drive! The episode explains what it’s like being on the road, from a cyclist’s perspective. This is helpful insight for both teen drivers and parents.
