Paceline Rules- The Whip

This first one is a major pet peeve of mine, that I have experienced twice, both times while riding in South Jersey. A large group of riders, riding a paceline at 27mph, with almost 30 people rotating through. But when the pace increases, naturally many of these people will now be in over their heads and decide to not continue pulling through. What happens here I call the whip. As riders are coming up the fast lane, in this case on the right hand side, and pull off to the left, the Whip is when the chain breaks and a rider pulls off and there is no one behind them to pull through. So what happens now, when this rider is at the head of the peloton, going 30mph and flicking their elbow wondering where everyone is? Do they soft peddle and wait for another rider to finally come through? Do they hold 30mph and ride hard until someone pulls through? If they soft peddle, the group is going to bunch up, people are going to have to hit the brakes, and the chances of a crash increase. If they maintain their pace, no one is going to pull through, since the speed is still high, and eventually the rider is going to soft peddle and we're back at the first option.
What should happen is that as the rider pulls off and sees that no one is going to pull through, they should maintain their speed for a few peddle strokes, bring the field back over to the fast lane side of the road, and flick their elbow and pull off in the original direction. In this case it is important that the second wheel rider respect this change and pull through, continuing the paceline as if nothing happened. Sure, they didn't get as much rest as they hoped for, but in a big paceline, you are never pulling for more than 15 seconds or so. My experience is the second wheel rider no longer thinks they have to pull and would rather wait for people to attack up the side to bring the speed up and continue the paceline.
I know some people will never change, and cyclists tend to be pretty headstrong and selfish, but maybe this will help
