Outside the US, attitudes to bike riding are different. While some of the maneuovers this rider carries out are very risky, they seem like they are keeping things in check i.e. looking out for themselves.
At sections where the traffic is moving slowly, there looks to be a very reasonable effort taken to not inconvenience other drivers by cutting them off and the such... and in sections where traffic is moving fast, they appear to be riding the max speed indicated on the road (mostly 20)
The bike rider obeyed the traffic signals and executed maneuovers identical to the other motorbike riders, it feels like a stretch to imply they weren't following the rules of the road in this scenario when others are riding the same, engine and no engine.
Do consider that with a bike-mounted dashcam you can't see things like eye contact between the rider and drivers, and subtle movements indicating that the driver is aware of the bike rider's presence. The type of lens used on these dashcams also distorts things greatly, making things appear closer or further than they actually are
