When I last renewed my driver's license, I picked up a copy of the 2003 California Driver's Handbook and browsed the section on bicycles. I just now compared the language in that 2003 version with the online version of the 2006 California Driver's Handbook.
The following two bullets are in the 2003 version, but are NOT in the 2006 version:
'Drivers must be careful when driving close to cyclists. Drivers should allow a minimum of three feet of space between the vehicle and bicycle when passing.'
'Before passing a cyclist in a *narrow* traffic lane, wait until the traffic is clear in the opposite lane and then change lanes to pass the cyclist. Do not attempt to squeeze past the cyclist.'
In addition, there are two pictures: one is labeled 'Right' and shows the driver crossing the white center line to allow several feet between his vehicle and the bicycle he is passing; the other picture is labeled 'Wrong' and shows the car remaining within the lane and squeezing past the bicycle.
I wonder why this language no longer occurs in the Driver's Handbook.
