We were talking about the right hook as a major danger to cyclists. That article is all about "cyclists shouldn't pass turning drivers on the inside". While that can be a contributing factor in some right hook collisions, many (most?) right hooks do not involve that situation. The article does highlight an error that most drivers make: if you're turning right across a painted bike lane are supposed to shift over tight to the curb when that lane becomes dashed. The driver essentially merges into the bicycle lane (and needs to do that merge action safely, which is the actual cause of most right hooks).
