I was literally about to almost be tailgating a guy on 287 while going 45. If they are doing the speed limit, I can’t really complain, I can only be aggravated, but when you are going 20 miles an hour under the speed limit, it is dangerous, especially with the amount of speeders. I almost got rear ended by some guy probably going over 80 because he could not see that we were going that slow past all of the tractor trailers.

Yeah, same here. I DO believe that serious underspeeding should result in a ticket -- UNLESS there's damned good reason AND that car is in the right lane.

Good reasons are things like: Your hood just popped open and wrapped over your windshield. Your engine just quit and you have almost no power at all. That sort of reasons.

PSA -- when forced to go slow on a freeway, turn on your emergency flashers. That might save your ass -- or that of your car.
