There are other ways of preventing right hooks besides taking a lane....Taking a lane may prevent a right hook but it may get you rear ended, run over or get you into a road rage incident....I am not completely against taking a lane. I've been riding long enough to know that sometimes there are situations where taking a lane makes perfect sense. I use my own judgment, just because something is legal doesn't mean it's always a smart thing to do or a safe thing to do.
