I live in PA. I have noticed that the 4' passing law seems to have made a difference to many.

And trying to be nice does cause some problems for those of us who anticipate that people will take their turns. I know they are trying to be helpful, but it can create confusion in many cases. Same with pedestrians who don't assert their rights at crosswalks. Frustrating when I am both cycling and driving.
