Avoiding the Ominous Right Hook

You are biking with the flow of traffic on an two-way urban road. You are cycling as close to the curb as practical. A bug gets stuck in your teeth. After adjusting your eye glasses, you realize that you are approaching a street light intersection. The light is red and four cars are already in line. Car 1 is waiting close to the cross walk line. You stop adjacent to the gap between car 1 and car 2. The driver of car 2 clearly sees you in the lane. You and the vehicles start traveling straight when the light changes. Car 2 yields to you before turning right, thus preventing a "right hook". A right hook is a crash scenario in which one vehicle turns right in front of a straight moving vehicle. This lane positioning tip is based on League of American Bicyclists' strategy for cycling in traffic .
