I don't know if I'm on board with that one. I know this moves the traffic along quicker but I'm not sure if this is correct.

Why not if they are both going straight. It doesn't cause any danger to anyone. It's not unsafe and will indeed move traffic along a bit faster.
Sometimes I think that some people look for problems where there aren't any. I often hear about people changing lanes in intersections. I see people do it, but I've never seen anyone do it when there were other cars around them. In that case, so what? They didn't harm anyone, nor did they endanger anyone. I was with a friend in my car who would see things like and that and say, "Look at that. People here are terrible drivers." We were 100 yards behind the guy and there wasn't another car anywhere.
What bothers me is that when I'm approaching an intersection someone makes a left hand turn cutting off the corner and coming on to my side of the road. I've almost been hit several times by people doing that.
If a driver is aware of what's going on around him and changes lanes or doesn't come to a full, complete stop when there are no other cars in the area, to me, it's no big deal. Most people do it. A few complain about it.
