Ride Safe!
Georgia’s 3-foot law
3-foot Law: Georgia law was revised requiring motorists to allow a minimum of 3 feet clearance when passing a cyclist.
Excerpt of the law:
When passing a cyclist:
• Allow at least three feet between your vehicle and the bicycle. Just as the wind produced by a passing tractor-trailer can pull a car off course, so too can a passing car cause a cyclist to swerve out of control.
