Perhaps I still throw caution to the wind to often. Particularly when I'm on the Natchez Trace and there is an oncoming car passing the car in front of it. I'll get out in the center of my lane on my bike and make myself as visible as possible. My hope is that it will encourage the car to pass the other car quickly instead of doing a slow pass and still being a factor by the time they get to me.
Seems to work so far. But if you don't see me posting around here for a while..................... <grin>
