RedRocket,
What number of vehicles behind you do locals consider reasonable to use a turn-out?
It's 5 in Washington. I think you are going to be surprised how the elevation kills your power in some of the passes. On the plus side, the roads through the passes that are open year round are generally not very curvy and have wide shoulders.
Yep, agreed on single lane each direction roads that at a max of 5 behind you, you should be looking to find a safe turn-out to use and let traffic pass.
I prefer to not have people behind me pushing me to go faster so I will frequently use a turn-out to let even a single person pass. Generally safer for everyone and is again, common curtesy since we all live in a society.
A big thank you from me to those who also use turn-outs to let traffic pass! :)
