Close pass and pulled in before trailer was even level

3 years ago in Oak Ridge, United States

In 2016, North Carolina passed a new law for passing a bicycle on the road. The new law is in the statutes at N.C.G.S. 20-150(e).

(3) The driver of the faster moving vehicle either (i) provides a minimum of four feet between the faster moving vehicle and the slower moving vehicle or (ii) completely enters the left lane of the highway.

Driver passed with perhaps 3' space but then pulled in with the trailer less than 1' from the bicycle (even after evasive action was taken).

Pickup truck clearly shows the property maintenance firm's name and phone number.
