I don't know about taking the lane: If traffic from the lane is allowed to both go straight and turn right you should get as far left as possible to allow people in reasonably sized autos to turn right beside you. If the lane only goes straight you should probably take it all. Just because people in cars are clueless gits doesn't mean that we should antagonize them, do your best to share the road with the impatient [censored].
But don't take my word for it buy the book, watch the video, be effective.
