If you say to the OP that it's fine just the way he was doing it, then what's the point? He is still worried about the right hook. THe green line mostly eliminates the right hook, but this change would present other set of challenges that IMO are less dangerous then what the red line brings into concern.
The green line is not a favorite of mine. Too many cars squeeze really close and the edge of the roadway is covered in gravel right now due to the last few snow storms.
I feel the right hooks are easier to handle than the real close passes I get in the green line. The lane isn't all that wide to begin with.
