Too bad I don't get the rec.transportation groups on this host.

The law in California is enforced, and specifically states that if you have
blocked traffic in such a way as to cause 5 cars to trail you closely, you
are in violation.  I have been stuck on mountain roads in such situations,
and great was my satisfaction to see people who ignored the turnouts get
pulled over and ticketed by the CHP.
