I have a handle on the amount of space I appreciate as a bicyclist, and that's what I give to other bicyclists. I don't know how many feet it is. Accurately measuring feet with your eyes is hardly a prerequisite to safe driving. Do you measure your following distance in feet, or time & intuition for your own stopping speed?

Why not perform some measurements the next time you get on your bicycle, which might make you a better cyclist and driver? I think that you probably know quite well how much space that is and are quite well able to estimate a 3 foot distance too. Nobody is asking you to maintain logs of your intra-vehicular distance for all your travels.
