In my state legally you need to slow to the speed of the farm implement, then signal and pass. No I've never actually seen that happen, people love to speed up and whip around at more than the speed limit to show their frustration, which is typically they didnt do their time management well and try to make it up by driving too fast and wrecklessly to make up tome....
