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:

From you cite.
Summary: Dr Ian Walker's measurements show that under some conditions
British drivers leave 3.3 inches more passing distance if the cyclist is
not wearing a helmet, and another 2.2 inches if the cyclist is wearing a
wig. The average passing clearance for all three cases was more than
four feet. The cyclist's position on the road changed everything,
canceling the difference at times. A new study in 2013 supports our
contention that Walker had misinterpreted his data.

You agree with them that Walker's study was unsound?
