For those of you that ride in the HOV lane (motorcycles are permitted in AZ) what part of the lane do you like to ride? I'm torn because part of me wants to ride on the left side to kind of hide behind the car in front of me so if someone tries to pull into the lane I won't get hit. Well at slow speed the other day I almost did get hit. If I was further right I probably would have been hit. But if I want to be seen better maybe riding on the right side is better. But then I feel more vulnerable and if someone cuts over my reaction time will be shorter.

Let's hear what you think and share some experiences with this issue.
