Yes, I do not lane split/ride to the side if traffic is moving b/c of this potential issue. When a car is moving it's more dangerous, especially getting close to an intersection. For example, if autos are backed up at a certain stop sign, I'll ride to the right, slowly, until I get just behind the car at the stop sign (so I'm essentially 2nd in line). I'll never compete with that front vehicle and so far, never had an incident with the vehicle behind me (it's a wider street so I'm not blocking anyone anyway).
