or they could ride single file as far to the right as safely possible, only taking a wider part of the lane when they’re traveling at similar speeds to traffic (downhill, 20-25 speed limits) or it’s unsafe to stay to the edge. we have a right to be on the road, I don’t believe we have a right to “block” more of the road than otherwise required because we’d like to chit chat. if the drivers of two convertibles took both lanes of a two-lane-each-direction road going half the speed limit because they were chatting…. I doubt that would be considered socially acceptable.
