Speed and followingQuestion 121 of 296

Why can driving far below the speed limit be an offence?

  1. It uses more fuel than the law allows
  2. It is only an offence in the left lane
  3. It is only an offence at night
  4. It can block the normal and reasonable flow of traffic
Show answer

Correct answer: It can block the normal and reasonable flow of traffic

Driving so slowly that you block traffic is against the rules. You may do it only for safety or mechanical reasons, or to obey the law.
