Topic overview

This chapter covers everyone else you share Florida's roads with: bicyclists, commercial motor vehicles (semi-trucks and buses), emergency vehicles and funeral processions, golf carts and low-speed vehicles, motorcyclists and moped riders, pedestrians, and school buses.

The most-tested concepts are the three-foot clearance law for passing bicyclists, the rule that a motorcyclist is entitled to the entire lane (you may never share it), the large blind "No Zones" around commercial vehicles, and exactly when you must stop for a school bus — on both sides of an undivided road, but not the opposite direction when a raised barrier or wide unpaved median separates the lanes.

A common mistake is passing a bicyclist or motorcyclist too closely, or misjudging a motorcycle's speed and distance because it takes up less of your field of vision. Another is assuming painted lines count as a median for school bus purposes — they don't; only a raised barrier or unpaved space of five feet or more does.

How much space must I give a bicyclist when passing?

Florida law requires at least three feet of clearance, and you should slow down and use extra caution, just as you would passing any slow-moving vehicle.

When am I required to stop for a stopped school bus?

On an undivided road, drivers in both directions must stop while the bus's signal is out. If the road is divided by a raised barrier or an unpaved median at least five feet wide, only drivers moving in the same direction as the bus must stop.

Why should I avoid a commercial motor vehicle's "No Zones"?

These are large blind spots in front, behind, and along both sides of trucks and buses — if you're in one, the driver may not see you at all, so pass through quickly rather than lingering there.
