Answer:
Florida has the “Three foot passing law, “23-316-083 Overtaking and passing a vehicle.”, which states that the driver of a vehicle overtaking a bicycle or other non-motorized vehicle must pass the bicycle or other non-motorized vehicle at a safe distance of not less than 3 feet between the vehicle and the bicycle or other non-motorized vehicle.” The statute makes violation of the 3’ law a non-criminal traffic violation, punishable as a moving violation.
