I agree, but the issue is that the rule is stupid and should be
changed.

And you have some inherent right to arbitrarily disregard rules you
consider stupid? Work to get the rule changed. Until such time, abide
by the rules.

otoh - he isn't disregarding a rule because he thinks he is more
important than me. His stated reason is that he believes he is safer.
Let's not lose sight of the fact that four wheel drivers are a major
risk for motorcycle riders.

Thank you!!!! I do this because I have founf through empirical
evidence that it is safer.

Remember, I've been doing this for almost 20 years now. I've
had lots of time to try different tactics.

One of the "rules" that Bondurant Schools teach for high-speed driving is:
"Don't let yourself get boxed in." It's amazing how many people blithely go
about oblivious to what's around them until it's too late.
