Ride in a Straight Line

This one is tough. Joe recommends:

Don't ride in the gutters and then swing out into the road to avoid the drains. This throws drivers off-guard because they aren't thinking about the drains and aren't expecting you to do this. There's a very good chance you'll get honked at if you do this, because nothing scares a driver more than a cyclist swerving in front of their car....This also applies when there are a lot of parked cars

I always do what the lower sketch shows, deking in and out of the open space and let the cars pass. It seemed the appropriate thing to do but I see the point.
