How many miles under the speed limit can I drive in the USA with out getting a ticket by the police?

Unless a minimum speed is POSTED, there is no fixed minimum speed. If weather conditions limit safe driving speed, you can actually be cited for 'speed in excess for conditions, even if you are traveling BELOW a posted minimum. That said, you can be cited for obstructing traffic in all 50 states. What constitutes obstructing traffic generally allows for some discretion on the part of the officer.

There is no set number. If you are going so slow that you are impeding traffic then you are going to get charged.

Fast enough so that you don't obstruct or hold up traffic. 35 in a 65 mile an hour road will get you a ticket for sure.

On some highways it is posted, 40mph minimum.
You become a hazard,,

You will get stopped if driving to slow.

My mother was doing 25 in a 40 and a cop pulled her over to make sure she was alright.

A police officer can pull you over for going under the speed limit just as easily as going over the speed limit. Depends on the officer and the situation.

Our department is as long as it's no more than 5!

In most places, a minimum speed does not exist. It would be up to the officer to determine if you posed a risk to other drivers. On interstate or unlimited highways, it is generally posted at 10-15 mph below the speed limit.
