As far as I'm concerned I have no problem with riding as far to the right as practicable because it allows for a varied interpretation. Sometimes, for example when I'm about to make a left hand turn, the most practicable place to be is the left hand lane of a three lane road. Sometimes if the road is narrow and busy and lined with parked cars it's right in the middle of the lane. And sometimes on high speed roads with lots of traffic traveling at 50 mph+ and no shoulder it's most practicable to be right on the white line if need be- I know there are some who will disagree with that choice on-line (no pun intended) but I'd really like to see those sentiments put into practice on certain roads.

BTW my computer dictionary defines practicable like this-

practicable: able to be done or put into practice successfully

what's so crappy about that? push for something more specific and you could regret it.
