Another miss! What do you do about drivers who come too close when passing cyclists?

Well it happened again, another driver came dangerously close to me while passing this morning. This time it was a big white coach bus that passed me with less than a foot to spare. The air stream pushed and then pulled on the bike. SCARY! Please, Drivers, give use no less than three feet of distance between us!

I immediately pulled over and called the Grant County Sheriffs’ department, who forwarded my complaint to the Fennimore Porice Department.

Later in the day I contacted the Fennimore Police and spoke with officer Streeter, who had pulled the bus over and talked to the driver. The driver he explained did not realize how close he was. Hmmm, perhaps he shouldn’t be driveing a bus then.
