NJ 4 Foot Passing Law


Listen Later

Today we’ll be looking into the new law in my home state of NJ that requires a 4-feet passing distance between motor vehicles and cyclists and other road users. This has traditionally been a divisive topic but it really doesn’t have to be. The new law isn’t designed to give cyclists the “upper hand”, it’s actually a pretty straight-forward law intended for BOTH parties. It just places the punishment on the vehicle that will do more damage to the other. We’ll go over this in more detail today.
