Cars can also be right hooked - when a motorist makes an unsignalled right turn from the left lane. I have experienced this type of right hook as a motorist, a cyclist and a pedestrian. Fortunately evasive manouvers have been effective to date.

This circumstance is, of course, more of a hazard than the garden variety right hook (aggressive right turn from the right lane without regard to road users to the right), but both are unpleasant.
