If you think it is magic for you to ride that white line... good luck.
The only way I know to not get right hooked is to watch approaching vehicles from behind with a mirror and ensure that you are not where they are turning right. Being in the right tire track of the right most straight through lane is also another fairly good way to not be right hooked. Riding on the white line where motorists
think they can pass pass you, just before they turn right, is no such guarantee... so good luck with that.
Your odd looking bent bike may help you slightly in that regard as motorists may see you and go "what the...?" and notice you.
