Here is an article discussing a Washington state statute about the need to pull over:

I knew that Washington had such a law, but if Colorado does, nobody pays any attention to it. When I'm "sightseeing", that is out looking for stuff to point my camera at, I often putter along even when I'm not towing, and I pull over often to let others pass. It can be frustrating to get stuck behind a MH or towing unit that refuses to let anyone by on a road where it's impossible to pass.
Almost as frustrating is the situation where you get 2 or 3 cars stacked up, but then they won't pass even where the opportunity is there, so choice for me is to pass 3 or 4 vehicles at once (usually difficult or impossible), or follow the line that just keeps getting longer. The "tourist" at the front probably thinks he is being a good driver by keeping his rig to a safe speed, when in reality he is "inspiring" those following him to take unsafe risks to get past him.
I don't know how some people can be so rude or clueless.
