The CA roads we are talking about, for the most part, have 55 mph speed limits for everyone. The interstates have the duel speed limits and pullouts aren't needed.
Now when there are 5 vehicles behind me and the first one passes, there are now 5 vehicles behind him, so he needs to do the pullout thing, right?
If you think that CA roads are so much different then the roads back east, you need to get out more.
No, actually. The roads I'm talking about are State two lane highways with dual speed limits. This is not an issue where there are four or more total lanes.
I'm not following your point about a vehicle passing. When a vehicle passes, it disappears very quickly. Effectively, and for all practical purposes there is no one behind him. If he isn't slowing anyone down and impeding their progress, he isn't subject to the turnout requirement.
CA State highways are very different than any roads I've driven out East with the two major differences being the dual speed limit and the turnout law. Are there roads out east with these two constraints? I'm always on the road and I haven't seen any.
I'm really looking for tips on how to drive these roads in California. I'm not necessarily trying to draw a distinction between California and the rest of the country, however.
