Yep... Two of the Primary principles of safe cycling are to be visible, and be predictable... which means not putting yourself in a place of position where drivers don't expect to see other traffic. Most folks don't expect anyone to pass them on the right when they're at a traffic signal or stop sign, so it's really, really bad juju, as well as bad manners to "filter" up to the front of the line like that. Most drivers won't be checking to their right, and with right-turn-on-red-after-stop the rule, if not a God-given right in most places, it's not at all uncommon for a driver to turn right into you, or in front of you.

So don't put yourself in those bad places... get in line with the cars, and take your turn with everyone else.
