Big mistake as a driver myself instinctually if something lets say a Motorcycle or moped or truck is coming towards me or pushing over into my lane naturally I pull the car away from the middle towards the left and I don't know in a quick reaction scenario where anyone would really check for bicycles/motorcycles/mopeds undertaking. Dangerous.
Hugging the curb also means unless she can bunny hop like a BMX rider she is asking to get clipped or pinned.
I'd recommend if she is a more casual/slow rider to not hug the curb but be slightly left of centre forcing the car to do an actual overtake where she will be seen. That is what I do on faster roads as I'm rehabilitating my knee as I'm on a skinny gear myself and 30 roads its far safer.
20 mph roads same rule if she is going slower than 20.

I try so hard to get my girlfriend to move away from the curb and parked cars but she is absolutely convinced it's more safe on it because she feels more secure as "cars can pass her and not need to wait to overtake".
