My old Dad drives up the middle of the road. His old paper licence said "tear down dotted line" so that's exactly what he does.
Why ride in the middle of the road?

Cycling in the door zone? and tucking in closely to the curb, he wouldn't last long these days.

You mean ...
Brilliant, brings back so many memories. (rerun memories, obviously)
Conversation at work in fairly busy staff room.....
Him: "You held me up by cycling in the middle of the road, I could not overtake"
Me: "Where was that?"
Him: "On the approach road"
Me: " You mean the approach road to the Hospital entrance where I was travelling at 10 mph in a 10 mph limit? You shouldn't be overtaking anyway"
Him: "You still shouldn't be in the middle of the road"
Me: " You are unaware of the "Primary position" when approaching a junction, especially a right turn then?"
Him: "Doesn't matter, you still shouldn't be in the middle of the road"
Me (crossing to Computer) " This is the Institute of Advanced Motorists website..... It is really of some concern that you are unaware of such basic driving, perhaps you should read this?"
Walks off leaving website on screen....

In my town centre, its all a 20mph limit. I love holding 20 & Primary. when people moan, I tell them, they are on camera and that I am cycling at the speed limit. Most soon shut up.
I just enjoy being reasonable!
I have a reputation to maintain
I often get complete strangers arriving in the department who have been sent up because I am ' The Bloke in Imaging who cycles everywhere" and their staff want routes, advice, repairs etc they are sent up to me.
