Traffic laws in Florida and other states of the United States include safety regulations for all types of vehicles including bicycles. In the case of Florida, the traffic laws establish bicycles are legally a vehicle and because of this, should follow similar regulation than other vehicles. This includes using lights when necessary, respecting traffic lights and sign and follow safety regulations. Additionally, the law establishes other types of vehicles should pass bicycles at a safe distance or shouldg give space to cyclists. In this way, motorists should give cyclists at least three feet of clearance, which is essential to avoid accidents considering cyclists are more vulnerable.
"Plain folks" is a form of propaganda and a logical fallacy. A plain folks argument is one in which the speaker presents him or herself as an average Joe — a common person who can understand and empathize with a listener's concerns.
