I travel up and down California all the time. I don't see a lot of big rigs or RVs pulled over very often. I have heard of a few pulled over for going too fast and in the left lane where they aren't supposed to be. I find some big rigs and fall in line. They track at about 62 most of the time and they seem to know where the CHP are. It takes a lot of the stress of driving off as the 4 wheelers are buzzing by you at 75 in the left lane. And that is just fine with me. Arizona has a 75 mph limit and even the big rigs are passing me. That's just fine with me. Generally the tires are rated for 65 so I'm comfortable at the slightly slower speed. The safety issue with the difference in speeds between classes of vehicles isn't an issue until you get somebody who is in a hurry and impatient. They make some serious errors that can be an issue at times.
We have our RVs to enjoy the road and views. It is a bit tricky to enjoy the road when you are fighting the traffic. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
