Proposed Bill Would Recommend a 3-Foot Buffer for Cars Passing Bicyclists and Pedestrians

SB 5335 (pdf), a bill introduced by State Sen. Ken Jacobsen, would recommend---but not require---that motorists provide a three-foot buffer between their vehicles and any bicyclists or pedestrians whom they pass. Do you think it should be a legal requirement rather than a mere recommendation? Email Sen. Jacobsen.
