I pull over if there is a designated "Turnout" and it is paved. I drove from Willits, Ca to Ft Brag, Ca on hwy 20, a very narrow and winding road with lots of traffic. There was ample turnouts and even if I had only 2 vehicles behind me and they were constantly tailgating, I would pull over. And if I had only one logging truck behind me, I pull over. They are on the payroll and need to get going, I am on vacation and don't need to be holding anybody up. On Hwy 20 when you let them go by almost everyone would give you a short toot on the horn in appreciation.
Another road is 299 from Redding to 101 . Has some turn-outs and passing lanes ,,, BUT it always seems the slow poke up front singing I love a parade SPEEDS up when he /she gets to the passing lane . Its like a mad dash scramble of cars / trucks trying to get around them. Once its back to single lane they go back to 5 under or slower.
Alot of times they still won't use the turn-outs just poking along till the next passing lane comes along so they can play the game again..
On the flip side of that there have been several occasions both on 299 and HWY 36E there are a few long passing lanes and at the end of them a CHP will be sitting there waiting with the radar on filling his quota for the day ..
There are others that no matter how many vehicles are behind them or how many turnouts there are they will NOT pull over period ...
You know like Need_a_Vacation and Old Biscuit type replies come to mind :R
