Well no, because that would be risk compensation by cyclists not
drivers, and it has nothing to do with measuring passing distances.
Thanks, yes, I know - but it was the only article I could find in
context. Do you happen to know the one you refer to?
I usually rely on others with better memory than mine to provide
citations, but in this case I found it almost instantly:

Interesting, thanks - the issue is shifting between academics every few
years. The original has taken quite a kicking, but the original data
seems to keep getting reworked.
The latest (this month) supports the notion that drivers drive closer to
riders with helmets - but with a number of caveats and emphases. It's
not available electronically yet - so even if I could understand it
(unlikely) I've not read it.
I think the issue is probably best described as 'undecided'.
