You cannot simply disqualify a thesis merely on the basis that the person claiming is living in a different country.
I called the fear of taking the lane irrational because it leads to sticking to the right side which puts you in even more danger.
Complete and utter bs. We're highly experienced riders dealing with these roads that you are completely unfamiliar with and we're supposed to believe that you can assess our risks at various positions better than we can? I dismiss your thesis because it's completely inconsistent with everything I have ever observed or experienced on American roads.
Do you really not understand how arrogant and absurd you're being? I wouldn't dream of telling you how to ride in Tunisia.
