Slow motorhomes/caravans - should they pull over?
Discussion
Might get flamed for this but hey-ho.
Towing my van I quite easily keep a pace of 50-55 indicated on A roads with little bother (V8 tow car). Since getting it last year I've not been at the head of any cross country queue, but have been stuck in a few.
When I had a dog slow camper in NZ I would frequently pull over on inclines or twisties to let vehicles past, even if there was only one of them as I see this as common courtesy.
Today I'm towing east on the A44 out of Aberystwyth no one behind me. I spot, then gain very quickly on a Burstner motorhome who is doing about 40-45. We head up an incline and the speed drops even further and he passes numerous large laybys but doesn't pull in. It's annoying but f
k it, it's a bank holiday so I chill out and stay behind as I have to of course.
If that was me in that motorhome I'd have been embarrassed to be so blatantly holding someone up and would have pulled over.
What's your policy on this?
