i do this myself. quite frankly, i can't think of a reason NOT to. i'm a believer in cooperating with motorists when possible; i don't take the full lane unless i NEED to, not simply because i'm entitled to it. also, positioning myself at an intersection such that cars can make a right on red, in my opinion, goes well in the direction of creating goodwill with motorists. why not do that when we can ? we're the ones who benefit ....
