Yeah!

Although the helicopter in this situation would, I believe, have the right of way (two aircraft taxiing [one just happens to be "air taxiing"] and converging, with the helicopter now on & in the right) common sense/airmanship dictates not blasting on in front of the fixed wing.

As I heard somewhere: "He was in the right" is a meaningless thing to have on your gravestone!
