Ideas: -www.give3feet.org but I don't like the image of the "feet" -Give us a Yard & either use a yard stick or a picture of a "yard of beer" -I like what DOT says, http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/safety/vehicle/bicycle/rules.htm: Motorist reminders Bicycles are vehicles. They belong on the road. Cyclists need room to get around potholes, sewer grates and other obstructions. Leave at least three feet when passing bicycles, more room at higher speeds. Change lanes to pass any bicycle traveling in a narrow lane. Train yourself to scan for fast moving (it's hard to tell speed) bicycles and motorcycles in the opposing lane to you when turning left, and scan sidewalks and crosswalks for pedestrians and bicyclists using the sidewalk and crosswalk as a pedestrian. Always scan to your right side sidewalk before you leave a stop light or stop sign. And to the left and right side sidewalks when on a one-way street.

This would also guarantee that the leeway topic would be included in the exam study manuals. Such a question should be on various truck and bus qualifying exams as well. (Possibly such is already in place?)
