I 'take the lane' consistently, for this very reason, I will ride between the middle of the lane, and the left tire track. There is a local road that goes through the old city center. Every time I am on that road, I practically have to ride on the double-yellow line, to avoid from getting hit by cars' pulling out of one of the parking lots, for local restaurants.

I even reported a county school bus last week, for laying on his horn trying to get me out of his way. The bus driver was trying to pass me on a curve, where someone had been driving too fast and ran over the embankment, stopping on the northbound track of a major MUT(Multi-Use Track) line.
