Re: [trafficsafety] Florida Becomes 7th State to Pass 3-Foot Passing Law for Motorists

this is the last sentence of the newspaper story I linked to:

 

"Florida is one of seven states with the passing law. Arizona, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Wisconsin are among the others."

Either they know of some states we don't, or they got it wrong in their story.  Now I'm confused, too.

I thought there were only 5 others with a statewide law.

 

Utah

Missouri

Minnesota

Arizona

Oklahoma

And in Oregon we have a city ordinance in Grants Pass.

(and now Florida)

 

Is there a state I am missing here?
