Position 3
On multi-lane streets with or without BOULEVARDS

By travelling in this position – just slightly to the 

right

of the

centre of the lane – you’re in a blocking position, the proper
riding position.

Position 4
Centre lane

When driving on a 

freeway

with three or more lanes, avoid

travelling in the centre lane if possible because you 

don’t

have a

blocking position.
