Did the state of California make an incredibly unsafe decision when they made this law?
I have no dog in this fight, but do you really want to pick California as the example for an intelligent law design?
All joking aside, 55mph max towing is probably safer, albeit more annoying.
In reference to going slower than the rest of traffic, it really doesn't matter to me which option you chose, so long as you are in the RIGHT lane. 2 lane secondary highway is a fine place to go slower in the right lane. 4 lane interstate is a fine place to go slower in the right lane. One being safer than the other... you could make the argument for or against, but I'm not certain one option is better than the other. Drive safe and at the speed that you feel comfortable with... but like you said, stick to the RIGHT lane if you are going slower than the flow of traffic.
Stay safe everyone!
