Our DMV director, George Valverde, answers questions in a column in our
newspaper on a regular basis. A question was asked, "Is it illegal to drive
under the speed limit on the freeway...? His answer, in part: "...DMV
recommends operating your vehicle at a speed that is consistent with the
normal and reasonable flow of traffic. Make sure that your speed is
compliant with the posted maximum speed limit. If you are driving an a
manner that can block or disrupt the normal flow of traffic, you can be
issued a ticket".
Is that an oxymoron or what? Now I have to find out which fine is cheaper -
getting a speeding ticket for going with the flow at 75-80 mph or driving
the posted 65 mph speed limit and getting a ticket for impeding the flow of
traffic.
Like I don't have enough things to do around here! That's enough from me on
these subjects. Back to Healeys!
