On the motorway, I would pull over if I could do so safely and if it wasn't going to slow me down (i.e. if I could get in and then get out again without having to slow for traffic ahead).
If I had to slow down and/or get stuck behind traffic just to help somebody else get to their destination faster I would be less inclined (perhaps different if there was a queue of cars behind me, and if my progress was only going to be minimally impacted).
Not quite the same as in the supermarket queue, because then letting somebody go in front of you is obviously trading their convenience for yours (I reserve that for OAPs, pregnant women and maybe the occasional pleasant looking person who is only carrying an item or two).
