STATEWIDE Motor vehicles will soon need to make more room for bicyclists on the road in the Commonwealth.
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) announced in a June 29 news release that residents should be aware of a new bicycle and motorist law that will take effect July 1.
Currently, motorists are not required to switch lanes when passing bicyclists on the road.
However, starting July 1, drivers will be required to change lanes when passing cyclists unless the lane of travel is
wide enough to accommodate three feet distance between the vehicle and the bicycle.

More than 100,000 customers have taken advantage of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles’ two-year renewal option for driver’s licenses and ID cards.
Prior to implementation of this new service in September, these customers would have had to make an appointment to visit DMV in person to renew their credential, according to a news release from the state agency.
This new service option postpones the requirement for eligible customers to visit a DMV customer service center until it is time for their next renewal, and allows customers to renew online or through the mail to receive a driver’s license or ID card valid for two years. When the two-year credential expires, customers will visit DMV to renew and obtain a standard five-year or eight-year credential and have a new photograph taken.
