appropriate expressway speed?
What is an appropriate speed to drive on the expressway while towing?
Forum Discussion
ORS 811.315 doesn't state the left lane is for passing. It states that it is generally illegal in Oregon to drive in the left lane at less than the normal speed of traffic.
Lawyers make their money arguing about what is the "normal" speed of traffic. Is it the posted speed limit, 5 MPH above the limit, the speed at which no more than 15% of drivers actually drive?
As for me, I hang out in the right lane at the posted speed limit when towing on freeways. On some of the winding mountain passes, I may go slow with the trucks when there is heavy traffic just to avoid making numerous passes .
