What would you do, stay put or pull over?
I have always wondered what other people would do in this situation, or at least what the majority would do. I'll tell you up front that I would have pulled over. Here's the situation. We were retur...

I swear I could be going a 100 mph and because I have a trailer behind me, everyone thinks I am going slow. If I am doing the speed limit and you are on my tail, you'll either stay there until there is a three lane wide passing opportunity, or you pass when it is safe.
Here is what I see ALL the time.
Cruise set at the speed limit. I notice a vehicle in my rear view mirror quite a ways back. Before long they are on my bumper. More chances than not to turn on their blinker and continue on their way. Yet, they will just sit there, riding my back side. I'll stick my hand out and try and wave them around...nothing. I'll slow a bit...nothing. I'll pull over to the right side of the lane to give them a clear view...nothing. And this is just on the commute to work in my Jeep.
I have been in the other shoe. Get stuck behind a line of people while following a vehicle that is driving below the speed limit. That first vehicle behind the slow driver is so far up the rear of the driver that you don't have the chance to leap frog around them and the slower driver. Semis doing this is the worst. No chance at all to pass any of them because you can't squeeze between two of them. Again...drive to work in my Jeep.
