We have signs all around that say slower traffic keep right but I have never seen it enforced. If someone is behind you and tailgating then you should move over and let them by if you can safely do so, I have done this and have also had people let me pass and I always give a thank you wave.
For the most part, driving on smaller roads in rural areas (in the States) brings out the best in people. Very courteous and helpful if luck has gone south.

I would like to say I received my plug and play brake controller and it works great. Thanks to Birdy bog!

I grew up in Germany and got my drivers license in the late 70’s. Cost was about 600DM, around $300 US. These days on average it’s about 2000 Euro’s. In order to get my license I had to sign up at a private driving school - class room instruction together with actual driving. The driving part consisted of a certain number of hours of city, country and Highway driving, parallel parking, etc, etc. with a driving instructor. This was also the first time I drove a car in excess of 120mph. Then came the test to get your license. Most people failed taking it the first time.
