California driving law

What an excellent law!

If there is no vehicle immediately in front of you and five or more vehicles are immediately behind you, state law requires that you pull to the side of the road, where you can do so safely, and allow the vehicles behind you to pass. When pulling over, avoid quick stops on unpaved shoulders. Use marked turnouts where possible.

Boy, I wish we had this in the UK. It'd increase journey times in Lincolnshire by mega percent.

I'm sure a whole lot of people do that...

The only people I've ever seen doing that are school bus drivers, back East.
