Ontario, Canada, has also just recently implemented a law on the same lines - 1 
m clearance between your car and a cyclist.  It came in for some criticism when 
cyclists are trying to negotiate roads where the road is already reduced in 
width due to snow build-up, and a 1 m gap puts the car into the oncoming 
traffic.

Not a problem of course in Oz.
