Further to recent discussion, would anyone like to help advise on this one?

Dear all
The South African/ Western Cape Province MEC for Transport, Mr Robin
Carlisle, called Louis today and was asking about the international laws and
precedents on the 1.5 m or 3 feet law to protect cyclists. He is, we feel,
proposing to set guidelines for the enforcement of this law for motorists
here, or at least to investigate measures towards protecting the passing
distance by cars away from cyclists.
Louis and I would like to gather as much information detailing the
international experience and where these laws have successfully been
implemented, or are being tested. If you have any information that we may be
able to use, and to package together and submit to Mr Carlisle in the coming
week, I would be most grateful. Perhaps this may simply be in the form of
websites we could visit; all information is welcome. We will keep you
informed of the process and the result of this welcome initiative of the
provincial government.
Thank you, all the best
Andrew
