I ride over the right in the right hand lane unless I have an opening and I need to turn left. The only problems I've ever had are people thinking I'm spastic or something and refusing to go around me unless they can give me a berth of more than a car-width. That bothers me the same way someone incessantly calling me "sir" when it's not appropriate, does. You know, you're just a regular shmoe and you're at regular place, like a store or restaurant, and it's a not a "sir" kind of place, but the person calls you sir at the beginning and end of every sentence like they're doing it because you just have to be called sir... no? just me?

Anyway, the driver is slowing everyone down, it's their fault they're holding things up, but they're putting it on me as if they have to give me 8 feet of room. I don't like that because I don't like for there to be any reason for people to get pissed that I'm on the road. Some people are just jerks and will get pissed no matter what, but for the most part if the worst that happens is people have to slow down a little and swerve a little, they don't get bent out of shape which means maybe they don't drive angry. That's why I stick to the right.

The only time I slow things down is when the road is too narrow for 2 cars and myself, but when that's the case I get to the light or stopsign just as quickly as a driver would anyway.
