Re: Skyline and Cornelius Pass caution

Really? I've had school bus drivers follow me on Skyline for miles
because they didn't want to pass. One time, I waved them by, and the
driver used her PA to tell me she couldn't legally pass unless I got
off the road. So I did, because it's damned unnerving to have a bus
follow you for that long.
