The League of Illinois Bicyclists produced this video with funding from the Illinois Department of Transportation. Robbie Ventura, a former teammate of Lance Armstrong, narrates the video. This video was distributed to 900 schools and 900 police departments in Illinois.
The Rules of the Road discussed in this video are based on Universal Vehicle Code. Specifically where the narrator says "bicyclists must ride as far to the right as practical" Oklahoma law says "as far to the right as is safe." The suggestion to pass bicyclists with at least 3 feet of space is a legal requirement in Oklahoma.
