Some people deliberately try to kill motorcyclists who do this.  I heard
one story about someone whose truck-driver friend has deliberately
killed or injured more than one slot-riding motorcyclist...  On one occasion
he was driving in tandem with another truck, evidently driven by a friend
with similar tendencies, and when a motorcyclist rode into the slot between
them, they eased over towards each other until the slot, and the motorcyclist,
"just disappeared", in the words of the storyteller.  On another occasion,
the guy saw a biker coming up the slot in his rearview mirror, and opened
the door to his truck directly in the rider's face.
