Sadly, you're correct.
However, as often as not, these laws are put in place to at least give cyclist and the authorities the 'teeth' needed to press charges or enforce tickets for other wise 'legal', but dangerous or aggressive driving.

It is always best to bring a tape measure on a ride. So if the vehicle seems close, just whip the tape measure out and measure.

I always TAKE something when I am going somewhere, I....TAKE THE LANE. A tape measure is useless, at speed. A cyclist using a tape measure at speed. Would not survive.
