You have now learned the law. Carry a copy of it with you and use it to your advantage for your safety.
If the OP could see that the lane was safe and clear of debris to allow him to briefly duck in to allow the SUV to pass then it wasn't necessarily a bad decision. If, on the other hand, it was a panicked response then it might have been. Why ignore a honk if it's safe to let another road user pass?
