the real issue and one not illustrated by either police or thread is if the truck driver pulled partially ahead of the bicyclist before right hooking them, or was the semi truly at a stop, waiting to turn right, and had started their turn before the bicyclist was on the trucks' right?

The issue of partial passing and the subsequent right hook is common with long commercial vehicles. This issue is independant of any road striping scheme, and bicyclists face this issue REGARDLESS of how the road is accomodated.

If the bicyclist truly did what the cop claims, well, that's a poor way to pass a turning semi truck.
