What is an lsv? Is it street legal or some form of bike? If so... I have to disagree with redwitch. If you were on a bicycle, you are perfectly within your rights to take up an entire lane on the street, no matter how fast you can go on the bicycle. In fact, many bicycle online sites advise cyclers to do that for safety reasons, citing among others, the exact reason you state. And it's legal.

As for lowering yourself to the flipper's level, well... sometimes it just makes you feel better!

I think having to deal with cyclers and slow-moving-vehicles when I'm driving is a pain, but it's their right to be there and my responsibility to accommodate their traffic, and I think everyone should do it carefully.
