Oh, that's very interesting. Where I live there are only upper speed limits on most roads except highways. On other roads you can drive as slowly as you want, though everyone will overtake you if they can or honk at you if you don't.

Are you sure that you really don't have any traffic rules against causing a hazard or impeding traffic flow by being too slow? That seems both unusual and unsafe to me.

Where I’m from an officer can always pull you over for “reckless driving” or “impeding traffic”. The argument can literally be made that you’re driving dangerously no matter how fast you go. These days I just stick to the literal posted speed (as long as road conditions and traffic allow) and I’ll let a lawyer defend me from any citations. I stay in the slow lane and am constantly getting passed but I’ll be damned before I get another ticket for going 6 over.

Well, that's certainly true also in every jurisdiction I'm familiar with, as it should be, common sense, really.

Idk I don’t think an officer should have the right to pull over a person driving the posted speed limit in clear weather with no other proximate reason but maybe I’m insane.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 minutes ago

That all depends on what you actually mean by "no other proximate reason".

I think we all agree that the police should take immediate action if someone is driving the wrong direction against traffic, even if they're doing nothing else wrong and are driving the posted speed limit, to take an absolutely obvious example.
