If you abide by those signs, and do the right thing, without fail the nuts will come along side and force you to slow or stop in that turnout lane. I believe it is a local sport. I quit moving over.
BTW it is the law to pull over if more than 4 vehicles are behind you. One I generally do if I see the turnout coming up is hit my signal so the cars behind know I am pulling over which gives them a chance to get ready to speed up and pass.
I understand all that. First of all, I can maintain the speed limit so, unlike a motorhome, I was not impeding traffic. Second, I use the signals. Third, the suckers will not pass till the very end of the turnout and then will come along side forcing you to brake. Forth, some of the turnouts are rather level and straight and merge back into a two lane where continued passing is permitted, but the jerks won't move over to continue their pass instead they force you to brake once again. Fine me, I will never yield to this kind of people again.
