Antoher retired cop here - and the previous retired officder gbot it right. I would only add that it is NEVER illegal to use the shoulder of the raod for what the shoulder is intended for! In many jurisdictions that means it is legal and courteous and safe (and depending on the are, maybe required) that you pull over to let faster traffic pass as long as it can be done safely.
