Slow vehicles should pull over for safety

| April 18, 2009 9:00 PM

I don’t excuse drivers that take other people’s lives in their hands when they pass a truck that by law has to do 30 mph. On the other hand, they do have another law they’re supposed to follow, but choose not to.

This law is for any slow moving vehicle (such as 40 mph in a 55 mph) — do your part to prevent road rage and pull over. It’s the law!

Title  49

Motor vehicles

Chapter 6

Rules of the road

49-639.  Turning out of slow moving vehicles. On a two-lane highway outside an urban area where passing is unsafe due to oncoming traffic or other conditions, the driver of a vehicle traveling slower than the normal speed of traffic and behind which three (3) or more vehicles are formed in line, shall turn off the roadway at the nearest place designated as a turnout or wherever sufficient area for a safe turnout exists, in order to permit the following vehicles to pass.
