Re: lane position in HOV lane

I started riding near the fog line in the far-left HOV but I had a to use brakes once with a lane change I didn't see coming, screened by the car in front of me. After evaluating it and being more cognizant of my follow distance in that situation - I was riding too close but I found that even a large cushion in the would screen traffic closer than I was comfortable with - I decided I prefer to ride in the right third in the HOV. It gives me a longer sight line between lanes and I feel like if I can see the side mirrors on more cars down the split, I'm more visible.

I've seen guys riding in the left-third with a car on their fender and it's real easy to miss them in front of the car until very late, coming from behind.
