Cycling at the Speed Limit: Take the Lane?

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
There's a road near me which is a 30 mph zone, is downhill and bends to the left. I can easily hit 30mph down there and always take the lane as its often unsafe for cars to overtake, this doesn't stop most of them though :cursing:

If the road was wider or was straighter I would keep more to the left, no point annoying people unnecessarily. As others have said it depends.
It was a unrestricted zone but I couldn't believe some idiot overtook me here the other day; I suppose it was better overtaking me here when I was still going 22mph, rather than 2 secs later when I was going 35mph :wacko:
