sure, you have the right, but if some guy messes up you’re screwed.
I always ride as far to the right as I can. So that even if the car isn’t paying attention perfectly, he won’t hit me.
So it makes no difference if I detect a car behind me because I am always as far to the right as I can be. Any further and I’ll be in grass.
I find the further to the right I ride, the more close passes I get. It's like a passive aggressive thing. When I can safely take the lane, folks generally pass in the next lane or very close to all the way over.
