Are you pulling into the left lane when possible to let them merge?
If possible, but it's not always possible.
I'm sorry, but the sign on the freeway onramp says for them to yield when coming onto the freeway, not you.
With the TT and Excursion PSD, my sweet spot was 65 and in the DP, I try to run right at 61. It has no real sweet spot.
Running down I-5 to Portland a couple of weeks ago in the MH, I had a guy in a Smart try to park himself in one of my compartments as he was trying to get onto the freeway. I couldn't move over as there was heavy traffic in the left lane. As soon as he could, he pulled into the left lane, passed me and cutback about ten feet in front and hit his brakes and then sped up. Her then proceeded to pull right up behind the semi ahead of me and, I guess, draft. The second time he almost lost it in the turbulence and went sideways, he backed off and passed the truck.
On pulling over to let folks pass, we were told where I drive school bus to NEVER cross the fog line and to only pull over at a pullout because that's the only place it's legal and safe to do so. You never know how solid the shoulder is.
