I independently rediscovered this driving in Southern California. It's the obvious fair and efficient solution for two lanes merging. What most Americans have a hard time understanding is that German driving school, or Fahrschule, requires the student to master these "advanced" techniques. Unlike in the USA where if you can operate the throttle and the brakes you're good to go.
