I know that California will fine you for not moving over, Washington may (I have to check though), I don't know about Oregon either.

Oregon laws are the same, move over if possible or slow way down.

I had a situation happen to me a few days ago in Wisconsin.

Bear had a customer on the shoulder, she stopped him *RIGHT* after an overpass. You cannot see it until you're about 200 feet away.

No less then a cluster of EIGHT four-wheelers beside me. I immediately put on my turn signal and start slowing down. I'm stuck.

So I slowed down to no more than 30 mph. She was talking to the four-wheeler on the drivers side. She ran behind the car, in front of her car.

What the hell am I supposed to do?

I got mad, a little pissy on the CB. Then I realized, there was THICK forest in the median.

Not a good place to pull someone over at all!
