Is it actually possible to get a ticket for driving too slow?

Just watched Friends and Ross got a ticket for driving really slow, could this actually happen in real life?

yes, it can. if you're going so slow that it's a distraction to other drivers..and causing them to slam on their brakes..or what have you. some highways post a "minimum speed limit" sign.

Yes because it can be quite dangerous say for example on a motorway.


Savannah
Yes actually it is... cuz i almost got one once when i got my permit... so yes it is

Yes. It's called Obstructing Traffic. Some highways have a minimum speed posted.

Yes.

Just like there are speed limits, there are speed mins.

If you drive to slow on a highway, then you will get a ticket

Iimpeding the flow of traffic is the violation.

Yes, if you are impeding the flow of traffic.

In the UK it is called 'driving with undue hesistancy' and some people do get busted each year. Usually straight to court, rather than a ticket.

Yes you can.

Yes because there are cetain highways where there are minimum speed limits not just maximum speed limits. Keeps the traffic flowing.

Sure is.

Most interstate highways have a speed limit and a minimum speed posted.

yes it is

It is a real danger actually. You could be ticketed for going too slowly. Imagine coming up behind someone who is suddenly doing 40 in the 65. Of course, you have to just watch out for them anyway, but what if?

yeah its possible you can be as much of a danger on the roads if you drive too slow. I love friends


timmych225

Yes tons of areas have minimum speed limits posted(mostly interstate, toll, multi lane). The last thing that is needed is jumping onto an Interstate highway and being behind Grammy doing 30mph in her 1983 Cadillac.

An old lady I used to work for on her farm got a ticket for doing under 30 mph on the motorway, nothing bizzare there you might think, but she had picked up a young cow in Kent and driving back to Cornwall and it was on the back seat of her morris minor when she was pulled over. Can you imagine the look on the coppers face.

I guess, I see signs on the interstate that say minimun speed 45....so I would think it is possible...

If there is a posted minimum speed, yes.

First question I would ask you is...
Do you have a Drivers License ???
If so you should already know this fact...???

Ever see what damage a Rear end accident
can cause by driving less than 45MPH on an
Interstate...especially at night !!!!
The Police estimated the dark blue Min-Van
was going 25MPH on the Interstate at around
02:00 Hrs...there wasn't anything left of the VAN
or the people inside it or the car or people in
the other car....
They literally exploded in pieces than caught fire...


So DRIVE DEFENSIVELY
also witnesses verified it


Willzville
How about when you make a turn. Obviously if your driving too slow after you've made a turn, or gone onto a highway then you would be creating a risk of someone crashing your behind.

yes, you have to obey the set minimum speed, otherwise you become a hazard on the road. That is a reason they do not allow bikes and moped's on major interstates, they can't go fast enough.

yes, many places actually have a minimum speed posted on the interstate. I know Atlanta does.
