I was in Yellowstone driving the switchbacks in 2nd, maybe 1st, in my old Class C. All engine braking. Rarely touched the brakes.

There was a long line of cars behind me.

I was feeling pretty guilty.

We came to a 2 lane passing zone and I kept going slow so they could pass. NO ONE passed me !

I felt better about going slow after that.

This has been discussed back in 1980 and the consensus was to not ride the
brake but pull the speed down and let it pick up again.
I know it is hard to do when there are heavy traffic.
