Something else I am going to mention, if you come out to Tofino/Ucluelet, please keep an eye on your rear-view mirrors, and use the pull-outs if you have traffic behind you!
1) The pull-outs are marked with signs stating: Slower vehicles impeding others please use pull-out (or something to that effect).
2) Once into a pull-out, slow drastically, OR STOP! I've had many vehicles go into a pull-out, but neither slow nor stop, and in some cases I've locked up 2 or 3 tires (even with ABS) trying to avoid a collision. And on 1 pull-out (Hydro Hill) you would get sandwiched into a rock face.
3) BC now has a law that states if you have 5 or more vehicles behind you, you must pull over to let them pass.
Locals travel this road daily. And we know the road very well. We can travel at higher rates of speed, too. Please allow us to pass, and please don't try to keep up with us. If you don't know the road, TAKE YOUR TIME! And have your camera ready - lots of scenery. Just pull off the road properly.
Oh yeah, and if you're viewing wildlife and someone goes by honking their horn? Please don't be offended, us locals are being encouraged to honk at the wildlife. This is for everyone's safety, and to keep the animals scared of human activity.
At any rate, enjoy your vacation/trip!
Cheers!
