Taking the centre line

Taking the centre line is the modern, motoring equivalent of taking the wall:

Archie’s driving habit was unique, He drove 35 mph an hour, whether on a gravel road, or the highway, keeping the left tire on the center line. Your brother John was riding with him, and said, “Grandpa Archie, what if you meet a car?” Archie said, “Somebody has to give.”

I don’t know if this is a Spanish practice. Sometimes I wonder whether drivers here are at all aware of centre lines.

   Interesting place to find a link to one of my Ozark stories. Thanks for sending traffic my way . . . hopefully not driving like my Grandpa Archie.
