I haven't read the other posts, so this might be a repeat. I know of no law
pertaining to lane position. I change sides based on safety for the particular
situation at that exact time. IE: When you approach an intersection in the
left lane, you should be on the right side so that oncoming traffic trying to
make a left in front of you can see you more easily. When on a multi lane
road, you want to be nearer to a car in the next lane when slightly behind them.
That way you'll be visible in their outside mirror. If you're on the
opposite side of the lane, they can't see you and might change lanes when no one is
in the mirror.

Not familar with any laws governing the lane position for
motorcycles, but I can tall you four reasons I ride to the left side
of the lane.
1)I can be seen more easily by other vehicles.
2)I can see other vehicles more easily.
3)I have more room to respond to a road hazard (rock, moose)
4)I claim the entire lane. If you ride to the right side of the
lane, other vehicles will take advantage and use the left side when
passing. I don't like that.

because I believe it allows for more visibility and maneuverability
if necessary to avoid something. I think driving on the right hand
side of the road (especially at night) where there are lots of deer
is more dangerous than driving on the left side of the lain.
