I started as many have, thinking that I should ride like a car using the same spacing and being courteous as the next guy.
And that when it started, the guy next to me (with illegally tinted windows) decided the lane next to him was vacant. And I was over on that line lickety split, and have been there ever since.
If you're behind a car or truck and on the white line you're in his mirror.
Next advantage, if some text zombie comes racin' up to your behind, you won't be the meat in a car sandwich.
There's some decent logic there...
Although it's not legal here,.. and I don't do it,... I do try to be ready to jump through that gap in an emergency...
I may rethink, if it ever becomes legal here...
I just see those crazy Youtube vids of guys splitting lanes at a speed of sound... and pucker so tight, I think I can taste my testicles...
