What I find is that the further to the left I ride the closer the cars come as they have to make less of an effort to move the car to avoid the cyclist in the first place. I usually ride at least 1/3 into the lane - usually that's where the vehicles l/h wheels have worn a smooth stripe in the road. I ride a lot of large A roads and some inner city stuff. I always have lights on the bike and as soon as the sun starts to get to a shallow angle where it might dazzle drivers the lights come on, I do the same when I drive a car. I don't want to give anyone the space for excuses so if they do hit me the fault can only be laid on them.
