    I've seen people get pulled over for doing 60 in a 65 on a highway where everyone is doing 70-85, because it's dangerously slow with only 2 lanes.

    And it's 6 lanes because of how much traffic there is, forcing people to weave around someone going 10-30mph below the flow of traffic is dangerous.

        they were going below the speed limit. That creates dangerous conditions.

        If they were doing 65 in a 65 and everyone else was doing 85, the cops can't do shit because they're literally following the law.

        Do you think speed limits are an exact number that has to be matched at all times?

            No, I'm pointing out how seem to think going below the limit is also a crime that cops can pull you over for.

            They can ticket you for unsafe driving if you're going significantly below the speed of traffic. And in my area there is actually a minimum speed on the freeways.

            But the way you worded it made it sound like you think you have to go exactly the speed limit at all times.
