We do use pull outs when they are available. This past summer on our trip to Alaska, I had the Mile Post open on my lap so we could find pullouts and we used them extensively. If we even had one vehicle behind us, we pulled off as soon as we could find a pull out where we fit. We had one very close call near Homer where a pick up towing a huge boat passed us on a double yellow. No turn out in sight or believe me we would have pulled over. We had to stop on the road and so did the approaching car to avoid a head on collision. It was that close and we were traveling the speed limit. The driver was just a jerk. Plenty of them out there too.
