Right. Mandatory Gandalf quote: "Never put it on, for they [the Ringwraiths] will be drawn to its power..." Or something like that. And not only Weathertop. Prancing Pony, too. The wraiths whirl right around on those horses and gallop off for Bree.
But I don't think the Nazgul are making him do it. The Ring is. The Ring wants the Nazgul to find him, so they can kill him and take it back to Sauron. When the Nazgul are nearby, the Ring goes nuts with the not-so-subliminal messages to Frodo.
Either way, he still wasn't offering it to the Nazgul. So. Yeah.
