People aren't saying she is right.

They are saying that's a rather low hill for the guy to make a stance with his life on the line.

He could have talked to the police and have them issue a ticket to the woman even if he did slow down and make way for her.

Same result, less chance of injury.

Then the same could be said of the car driver, right? Except that, unlike the motorcycle driver, she's actually in the wrong here and that's why she was cited.

If I gave way to every idiot who broke the rules on the road, in the name of being a "defensive" driver, then I would literally never get anywhere. The answer isn't to just let people break whatever rules or laws they want to. That's how these people were treated when they were younger, and it's why they are such self-centered, entitled little brats now as adults.

I don't think you know what the word "literally" means. You'll get there. You might be inconvenienced by a few minutes, but you'll get there.

Sometimes being defensive means inconveniencing yourself even if you're in the right.
