You are absolutely right. And you should keep this in mind.

You should also keep in mind that if there is a collision, regardless of who's fault it is, you lose.

This second comment is not at all meant to suggest that we shouldn't do thinks like take the lane when appropriate (we should because it is safer). But it is something that we should (and almost all of us do) keep in mind.

Cheers,
Charles

p.s. I'm not suggesting that you, Caloso, doesn't understand this. But it is worth stating for those who might not.
