Well, the lane was wider than that at this point, but it was splitting into two about 15 yards in front of me (I think - I'm obviously not very good at estimating exact distances). It was a wierd intersection, though - the lane narrowed slightly (still above the sub-standard widths) before widening.
I tend to take the a center bias at this point, because I've had too many people whip in front of me and brake for the right turn, or several cars line up for the turn bumper to bumper in both lanes, squeezing me out. I want my space to turn safely!
What I found hilarious was the officers insistence that I was endangering myself and others by my position on the road. If anything, I was safer, for several reasons. Besides, this law has nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with ensuring traffic flow.
