Yes the law is what it is, till it is changed...I will pass my suggestion for testing, plates, and ticketing to those that will listen. Some of those might be interested in the revenue possibilities.

Sure, regular shorts and a regular shirt would not bring enough attention your way....Sport?

There is no way to accurately determine the 3' distance, if you feel safe with that; it seems to me that your the one that needs to consider "your own peril". I will also suggest requiring bicyclist to have insurance coverage for damage to cars in the event they "fall into" a car that is passing...just in case 3' turns out not to be enough room.
