  • It sounds like you would constantly need to be adjusting your lane position depending on the type of car behind you. personally, I prefer just being consistent and taking the lane as that is safer for me. With an airzound and dinotte lights, I have little to worry about :-)

  • I think you misunderstood - I used "two semis cannot easily pass" as a unit of road width, meaning I take the lane whenever I'm on a road that's that wide (not only when there are semi trucks behind me).

    I only have a fox 40 whistle, a helmet flashlight and a PB superflash, so I probably have more to worry about than you do though.

  • The problem is you know two semis can not pass you, but they don't until they are right on top of you. Probably the same for other wide cars.

  • I'm confused. If two semis cannot easily pass, I take the lane. Besides, I seriously doubt a semi driver would try passing if there's another semi in the oncoming lane.

    And even with a wide car, I know from personal experience that if a Chevy Suburban (full size SUV) puts its left wheels on the double yellow, they are still a full 3 feet away from me.

  • It doesn't seem like you are taking the lane in this video.

  • I only take the lane on VERY narrow roads, i.e. where two semi trucks have to ride the white line to pass.

    I ride enough into the lane to give me room to maneuver and to make 99% of drivers change lanes, but not enough to prevent the most impatient/aggressive 1% of drivers from passing within the lane. (I'd rather get buzzed than cut off/rammed/forced off the road due to road rage and/or inattentiveness)
