slow moving vehicle sticker
Hi, I'm not into life in the "fast lane". I'm wondering if anyone has information about a "slow moving vehicle" sticker that could be placed on my RV. Does anyone use one or have one?

We live in the center of Oregon where we have to travel two lane US highways and the nearest Interstate is 140 miles away .
Interstates have more straights than 2 lane US highways .
This is further complicated because we have to climb over the mighty Cascade Mountain Range to get to the population centers which are along Interstate 5 .
The most frequent problem is that 15 % of the people that live along Interstate 5 automatically slow down when they get onto the two lane US Highways such as US 26 , US 22 , US 20 and US 97 .
Those folks impede the progress of the Central Oregon residents by travelling under the 55 mph basic speed in Oregon .
The problem is that the folks that crash are not the folks impeding the flow of traffic .
Instead , the folks that crash are those that have to pass those impedants on the 2 lane highways that we have .
Life is not fair .
The impedants take the high road in their argument , saying the other guy was going too fast .
The other guy was content going 60-62 which is the normal speed on US Highways in Oregon .
The other guy only had to go 75+ in order to pass the impedants .
The wrong guy crashes because the impedant chose to be the lowest common denominator driving our 2 lane highways .
A slow moving vehicle sign will not help .
Pulling over when a line forms behind you will .
That actually will happen on occasion .
It is refreshing when it does .
Boy talk about hitting the nail on the head!
I tow 26 and 18 to the coast, I can move at 60 both down hill and up hill (55 mph speed limit) I travel at a speed that many are content to stay behind me when a passing lane comes along.
Nothing frost me more than the driver that you see well back in your mirror at the start of a passing lane that speeds up to 70 to 75 to get past, then slow down to 50 once in front of me.
These people are driving little cars and always hug the center line (on it) when crossing a narrow bridge.
Those little cars have a hard time when the road is like this. Yes to those that are asking this is the main state highway from Portland to Seaside and Canon Beach!! There are better sections, but a lot is like the picture below with a 55 mph posted speed, many go 60 to 65+.
