Yes, the rare instance it is an emergency related situation, and I am all for trying to help that person out, but I have yet to have someone explain why it is more important (and legal) for the log hauler, electrician, plumber, cable/ satellite guy, municipal worker, or the who ever it may be to speed and need to get past me just because I may be towing a trailer and driving the speed limit/ give or take a couple mph as long as the driving conditions allow? As mentioned, there are speed limits for a reason. What about when not towing, does that make a difference at all, with the same situation?
This isn't any different than when there is 6" of snow on the ground and just because I have 4wd and can safely navigate at a faster speed to expect Mr Honda Accord to get out of my way because I have someplace to be.
