Looking at the map it looks like to me had you stopped the LE officer could have past at that point. Had you waited till after the curve and stopped he would have no problem passing you.
I see several of places he would have been able to pass if you had only stopped. It makes no difference if there was or was not a shoulder or if you were taking up the whole lane. What you did was force him to take additional risk by requiring him to pass while you were still in motion. One additional point I am quite sure he was aware you had a HazMat load so he would have known the hazard. And as another poster (bouncer I think) said if he didn't think it was safe to go around you he would have got on the PA and told you to pull forward. Anyway I do think you were lucky by only getting a butt chewing. At least now you know what to do the next time if it ever happen again. kc0iv

I lost a HUGE, and very well composed post in response to KC's last (to me) due to this INCESSANT problem with "invalid session" and I don't know if I care to try to recreate it or not! :twisted: :twisted:
I'm not sure if I care to respond to the latest info (picture post) or not, for the same reason! All I can say for now is, only the most stupid of troopers would tail a CMV doing no more than 15 mph for nearly TWO miles before passing! Whether he stopped or NOT! :shock: :roll: I saw at least SIX places where "I" could have passed him on a friggin BICYCLE!! :roll: :lol: :roll: :lol:
