I'm a proponent of doing what keeps you safe. Joe feels safe doing what he does so it's a valid option for him. I salmon an area of my morning commute because it has a large shoulder, 6', compared to 1' on the right. The road has potholes there also, no lights and fog/mist some AM's. It's an uphill section with a 45mph speed limit and it's with the commuters. Get one car to ten through there. Give me a ticket...
