This hasn't worked so well for me here in Portland. Either the driver is hyper-polite and won't pass me to turn right even though there's room, or else they're aggressive enough that they pull up to my right to go straight, leaving me in a lousy spot. I generally just stick to the center of the lane. I figure if I were in a car going straight they'd be just as stuck.

[...] Original poster didn't mention anything about a right-turn only lane. Those are pretty rare in this neck of the woods. My opinion is the motorist had no business honking and asking the cyclist to move. Maybe the cyclist could have handled it better, but he may also have had past experiences that justified his response.
