But please be carefull with this because of the german driver mentalty. Be sure that you will meet a lot of drivers who doesn`t know or accept or ignore that rule because they are always willing to be the first or they drives a bigger, faster or expensive vehicle than you.

That's a UK traffic rule as well, and you may see signs saying "Merge in turn". They are widely ignored, by drivers forming a long queue on the left while the right lane remains empty (we Brits love to queue!), or refusing to let others in at the merge point ("I was here first"). Worse still, the self appointed Queue Police who sit in the right lane with a long empty stretch ahead of them until they reach the merge point, ensuring the queue stretches out of hundreds of metres behind them.
