When overtaking a same-direction bicyclist on the left, what clearance should a Michigan driver provide when practicable?
Correct answer: At least 3 feet, with more space when speed or conditions require it.
Why
When overtaking a same-direction bicycle on the left, leave at least three feet when practicable and allow more room when needed. If three feet is impracticable, the statute requires a safe distance at a safe speed. A safe bicycle pass may be made notwithstanding a no-passing zone under the stated statutory conditions; that exception is not permission to endanger the rider or oncoming traffic.
