Is it illegal to drive down the center of a dirt road?

Growing up on a farm everyone drives down the center of the dirt road until you meet someone then pulled off to the edge. Was pulled over for going left of center on a dirt road leading to a dui conviction. Just wondering the law is and proper way to drive on dirt road since there is not center line.

Whether there is a center line or not--and note that many suburbean streets don't have center lines, either--you have stay to the right of center on *any* street which is not designated as a one-way street; only on one-ways can you legally drive on the center.
