Where more than one lane exists or if the road is wide, I prefer to stay to the right side, but inside the road's middle marker. This helps avoid slower & parked vehicles and in most cases, the road surface is smoother as well.

On narrow, two lane highways, there are a few folks who prefer driving in the center of the road, with the road's center line dissecting the car in half.

While I don't subscribe to this approach, there was this time when a friend in the car was getting all jittery & paranoid because I was driving along on this narrow state highway at ~100kmph in the daytime, and keeping the center line on my right. His theory was, as long as there's no traffic, it is better to stay in the center of the road.

I tried this for a while but found I would subconsciously drift back to my (left) half of the road before too long.

Thoughts?
