keep right except to pass, was: Audi Caravan

[Livolsi, Stephane]

Actually, I think it should be "keep right except to pass when other
vehicles are in sight of you."  When I am doing high speed night driving
(rarely ;)), I tend to drive in the middle of the road when there is
absolutely no other traffic in sight, and move over to the right at the
first sign of anyone ahead or behind.  Now before anyone blows any gaskets
on what a dangerous driver I am, think about it for a sec.  First of all,
I'm not a moron (yes, it is debatable) and I don't stay in the middle of the
road on blind curves and other dangerous spots.  Note that we are talking
about 2 or 4 lane undivided highway usually.  By staying in the middle of
the road, you have twice as many options for evasive action if an animal
jumps out (common around here with deer and moose - have you seen what
happens to your car if you hit a moose?) or you come across something on the
road.  The way I see it, there's no sense in wasting a wide open road when I
could use part of it and be a bit safer.

Just throwing another log on the fire......
