I also always stop to the far right of any vehicle so that I am looking right into their side view mirror and they know I am there.

Most of that is irrelevant when you're the first vehicle in line at the light, which my husband was. Being in first or neutral would also have been irrelevant.

None of that changes the importance of the tip. It is important to have a place to go when at a full stop so hopefully you can glance in your rear view mirror and bale if you get the chance.
