Petition the Prime Minister - Improving safety for cyclists on our roads - Three Feet To Pass

Add your name to petition the Prime Minister to introduce legislation that all motorists must allow a minimum of 3 feet in distance between their vehicle and a cyclist that they drive past.

To find out more about this petition and to sign the petition visit the official site of the Prime Minister's Office at Number10.gov.uk/3feet2pass

The Deadline to sign the petition is 6 January 2010.

So far

• Thursday 31 December 2009, there are 2,573 signatures.
• Friday 18 December 2009, there are 2,540 signatures.
• Friday 4 December 2009, there are 2,405 signatures.
• Friday 20 November 2009, there are 2,252 signatures.

This petition aims to introduce a law that has already been adopted in France and numerous states in America, where drivers are required to leave a suffienctly safe gap - a minimum of 3 feet - between their car, lorry or motorbike and the cyclist they are overtaking.

It is hoped that this will improve the safety of our roads for cyclists.
