Excellent! The next step is to learn to initially stop in a position that would allow right-turning cars to pass you like this without you even having to move left to let them by. In other words, even with no cars at the intersection, when pulling up to a red light stop far enough left to allow for this. As soon as it turns green move forward and right allowing thru traffic to pass you on the left.

Good job!
