If you see someone merging you can temporarily switch to the middle lane to overtake them

That's illegal in USA. People do it anyway, but if there's a crash and blame needs to be assigned, then the law says you're supposed to keep driving at the same speed, not change lanes, and leave it entirely up to the driver attempting to merge to regulate their speed so they can merge safely.
