You got that much room? Seriously, I would guess that @ least 75% of the cars that pass me on the road are within 3 feet of my handlebars.
California law (not universally followed, of course) mandates that a motorist leave 3 feet of clearance when passing a bicyclist. (It helps that the bicycle section of the drivers' handbook / vehicle code summary was edited by cycling advocates and Effective Cycling instructors!)
