Nine and a Half Things Motorists Should Know About Bicycles (and it wouldn't hurt for more cyclists to know them too).

Even though Texas' existing "safe passing" law doesn't specify what the distance is, or classify a cyclist as a "vulnerable user", or excuse bicycles from the requirements of all other legal vehicles (setting the stage for bicycles to no longer be considered as such), nonetheless it is the law that motorists must pass cyclists "by maintaining a safe distance".
