I didn't vote. Most of the roads I ride are narrow laned so drivers have no choice but to cross the yellow to pass - in those cases I will ride a centerish position and signal for them to slow up if it isn't safe to pass, then yield right and wave them through when it is safe. Unsafe is any situtation where there is oncoming traffic or blind spots.

If there is a NOL, I simply stay right and allow them to pass, since there should be enough room to share the lane. If they feel they need to cross the yellow, that's their business, though I will be prepared to bail if conditions might cause them to do something stupid. If conditions require that I move further out in the lane, then I will act the same as if there was no NOL at all.
