BILL NUMBER: SB 910 INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Senator Lowenthal FEBRUARY 18, 2011 An act relating to bicycles. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 910, as introduced, Lowenthal. Vehicles: bicycles: passing distance. Existing law imposes various operational and equipment requirements on a person riding a bicycle on highways and roads in the state, and requires that the driver of a vehicle overtaking a bicycle in the same direction pass to the left at a safe distance without interfering with the safe operation of the overtaken bicycle. This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would establish a minimum passing distance that would be required of motorists who are passing bicyclists on highways and roads in the state. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. It is the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would establish a minimum passing distance that would be required of motorists who are passing bicyclists on highways and roads in the state.
