Not bad, nice line up for the dock. It's the only way to fly when you're a trader, for sure. Sod the 20km nonsense.
No, it wasnt safe disengage
if theres no target lock it can drop you out anywhere, timing is crazy doing this.
i already smashed in the station once, you just face away from it so you drop next to it
stupid disengage is not same as unsafe
well, obviously.
i have it targeted after all
if you drop while you're still "alinged" its gonna drop you 20k from the station regardless of how far you are when you pressed J
you gotta time it perfect its not safe disengage, its just dropping close on instinct

Just as an FYI I dropped from SC this way every time I docked when I was trading and I traded all the way up to an Anaconda. So it can be done repeatedly without incident.
Me too only once or twice have I had to quit and exit due to being caught in the ring.
that depends on your reflex, i drop right in front of the stations exit (it usually faces the planet, so from planetside)
1km/s is safe disengage for the computer, its not doable manually, numbers run to fast
but its faster, and i noticed it hangs less.

In all the station drops that I did I always ended up at about 3km from the entrance facing the opposite way. I would just set throttle at 50% and pull back on the stick as I drop from SC, so as I'm turning towards the station I can concentrate on requesting docking permission. 9/10 times I'd end up having permission as I line up on the port. It's all about making the journeys more time efficient.
The timing is pretty easy, just drop to 30km/s at about 300km distance and keep the station lined up as best you can. Then, when the distance hits zero wait for about half a second and hit the button.

The safer way would actually be facing away from the station like i did in the video, i did the old trick you suggested back then....and i smacked at the station as i left supercruise..not fun..but hilarious.
In your video you're going too fast, you need to be at 30km/s for it to be predictable. I always end up facing away from the station too.
