Bill,
There's no sound logic to your argument whatsoever. Large log trucks and
rednecks will overtake you much more rapidly and with much less reaction
time when you're on the wrong side of the road.
I live in a county where the #1 economic activity is logging. The #2
activity is watching NASCAR. The roads are the worst I've seen anywhere and
I've lived pretty much all over the country. It seems I have everything to
deal with that you do. I would NEVER ride on the wrong side of the road.
