THREE FEET??
I know it happens all the time but I feel much more comfortable if the vehicle gives me at least 5 feet or more.

Law in AZ is 3ft. Daily I get passed with much less, even when riding in center of lane. I would much rather have everyone pass me with at least three feet than some folks 5ft and others 2ft.
3ft is law. 5ft is nice.
Very few folks 'round (AZ) here know that 3ft is law.
