I think you are confused with what "as far right as safe" a.k.a. FRAP legally allows bicyclists, in every state.
Is it legal, in NC, to ride far enough left to prevent that from occurring?
If riding further right is unsafe.
I'm not talking about riding the center ridge of the road blocking traffic both ways because I "own" the damn road, I'm talking about riding far enough out to discourage the F150 behind me from trying to squeeze between me and the oncoming Buick. Nothing I see in this debate answers that question.
use your better judgement about sharing the road, and you'll likely do just fine. the traffic laws of North Carolina don't expressly allow preventing passing, but so long as you're 'reasonable' about it...
