AB 208, Bigelow. Vehicles: highway: lane use. Existing law (2015) requires, on a 2-lane highway where passing is unsafe due to specified reasons, *a slow-moving vehicle* behind which 5 or more vehicles are formed in a line to turn off the roadway at the nearest place designed as a turnout or wherever sufficient area of a safe turnout exists in order to permit the vehicles following it to proceed. This bill (2016) requires, on a 2-lane highway where passing is unsafe due to specified reasons, *any vehicle* proceeding upon the highway at a speed less than the *normal speed of traffic* moving in the same direction at that time, behind which 5 or more vehicles are formed in line, to turn off the roadway at the nearest place designated as a turnout or wherever sufficient area for a safe turnout exists. "slow moving" vs "any vehicle at less than normal speed"

I don't think I"ve ever been to a funeral at night. Is there such a thing?

No silly, one either flashes their lights on & off rapidly or uses candles on the fender or sets the little funeral flags on fire.

provisions would

dangerous for anyone in traffic to have both ears blocked.

I don't know, but if there was one, it would be easy to miss with their lights off.
