The actual rule is:
"17. - ROAD RACING ...
17.1.2 - General rules
-Unless instructed by the Chief Referee, all riders must stay to the right
of the centerline, or another point on the road designated by the Chief
Referee.
- Riders must obey all traffic laws in force. "
Basically this allows the Chief Ref to decide. I would interpret this as
touching the line. You have to recognize though that it may be very
difficult to identify riders on the centerline in order to penalize them.
If you think that this rule is inadequately specific you can propose a
change using as the following mechanism:
"Modification of these rules may be made by vote of the club
representatives, generally at an annual meeting. Proposed rule changes shall
be presented to OBRA in written form to be voted on by the club
representatives. The OBRA board may in an emergency, or in the case of a
time sensitive matter, make modifications to these rules."

Subject: [OBRA Chat] centerline clarification please
Now I don't mean to be a smart ass, but, when does a centerline
violation
occur?
If it is a single centerline and I am riding ON the centerline, am I in
violation?
If it is a double centerline and I am riding between the yellow lines,
am I
in violation?
I don't like to get that close to on-coming traffic, but if I have to, I
will push the rules to the limit to gain any advantage I can.
I am just looking for an official's point of view.
Sorry I am an engineer. Details matter.
Pete
