I'm looking for a toad for our View, so these comments are greatly appreciated. Also I'm trying to learn about the various brake controllers and how they actually work.
On the passing issue, CA requires slow vehicles to pull over when 5 or more are following. I do it when 2 are following. They are happy, I'm happy.
I remember a court case from years ago regarding a slow vehicle on the freeway. Turns out CA CVC specifies 15 MPH as the minimum. Strange, isn't it?
Sometimes I use the HOV lane, going 65 MPH. Mostly no problems, but there is the occasional jerk that opines the HOV lane being the Hammer Lane and resents being held up. Particularly, the southbound 57 freeway is such a fast runner that motorcycles are in danger of being run over by those who feel they own the road.
It's 5 vehicles in my state too. There is the caveat that one find a safe place to pull over. I get out of the way any time I can even if it's one vehicle. I know what it's like to be on an epic nice twisty road in a sports car only to come up to a lumbering RV or truck that won't make room to pass.
