As so many said, pull over and stop if safe or signal you going over and then 4 way flash to show you going slow and it's okay to pass. It is sort of a what would a safe prudent driver do.
Use common sense and enjoy the countryside, that is why I have that huge window in front of me. Okay so it's the only way the rig came.
