(Daviess County, KY) Another new law in Kentucky going into effect starting July 14 (Today).

Drivers will now be required to give bicycles at least 3 feet of space when passing.

You probably see cyclists on the roads often. And each time you pass them, you had a choice.

"Do I wait until the oncoming traffic is clear and allow that three foot minimum? Or do I risk the life of that cyclist and squeeze by them in the lane?" Paula Roberts an Avid cyclist in Daviess county said.

But now, there won't be a choice for drivers in Kentucky. Drivers must leave at least 3 feet in between them and the cyclist when passing.

"That 3 foot rule is gonna be a good thing for us because it does give us the law to share the road," Larry Myles the owner of Be Real Sports said.

Roberts says she has friends that have been hit by cars on the road before.

"I think they're just not aware of how dangerous it is to pass a cyclist in the lane," she said.

And Myles says he's seen it first hand...

"Way too close to the whole entire group who we were riding with," he said. "And that was probably the most fear and closest that I've ever had because it was really close."

But both agree the best way to make sure cyclist stay safe is getting the word out.

"We'll see how the 3 foot rule plays about in the state of Kentucky," Myles said. "There's probably gonna be the biggest thing is the education gap to the driver."

Because it could save a life.

"It's common sense," Roberts said. "It just makes good sense. And it's gonna mean the world of difference for you know, my family, my kids cycle, my husband cycles, I cycle."

I'm not going to sugar coat this one. If you want this project to succeed, then it's time to stop asking when the one thing you're interested in will be done and get involved.

Plain and simple. If you want to see this project succeed, now is the time to step up. Come to our next meeting to find out how.
