Yeah they are trying to be polite, but polite isn't written into the traffic laws. Other drivers in other lanes won't expect this move and you've got a crash.
I kind of assumed he's talking about a situation with only one driver. Of course if other cars are around, it's not likely they are all going to give you the right of way so obviously in that situation you don't take it, right?
