I am not living in the US and am not aware of these laws, but they do make sense in the wording above.
In the story these comments refer to the driver had no real place to stop his truck and I believe he was justified in going slow on a rainy/slushy road in a heavy track on a decline.
If you are driving slowly you should be letting others pass you whenever possible. I'm actually quite amazed that you actually need laws for that (not that our drivers are better in any way, it is just common sense).
- kbenson 9y agoYeah, using a turnout for a tractor trailer is likely doubly hard, since some are quite short, and if not everyone has a chance to pass, some drivers will push their luck while the truck needs to merge back because there's no more road in the turnout. Dealing with the consequences of that is likely not fun.
- jsolson 9y agoSure, sorry, I wasn't aiming to criticize the driver in the overall post -- my comment was solely aimed at the drivers described in the quoted passage from the prior comment :) For most vehicles, on most roads, opportunities to allow others to pass safely appear with reasonable regularity. Despite this law, in my experience most slow drivers choose to entirely ignore those opportunities.
