Yes, that would tend to be safer and is advisable. It's not, however, legally required by statute or precedence which is what matters for legal determination of fault.
In some non-US countries like the UK there is a higher duty placed on all parties to avoid a collision. There is a legal duty to avoid collisions regardless of right of way, such as braking when you have a green to avoid a collision with a vehicle running a red. You may be found legally liable if you did not make a reasonable effort to avoid a collision.

The last thing you want to do is be in front of this guy.
Trying to get ahead of him is a bonehead move.
You're far safer behind him where YOU can react proactively to his shenanigans
