ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Thousands of citations have been handed out<\/a> after Florida\u2019s \u201cSuper Speeder\u201d law took effect last year.<\/p>\n

But while it may seem obvious that going too fast can get you into trouble, it begs the question: can Florida drivers be punished for going too slow?<\/p>\n

According to state law<\/a>, there is a minimum speed limit \u2014 but it\u2019s only explicitly laid out for highways that are part of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways<\/a> and have at least four lanes. This includes I-4, I-95, and I-75.<\/p>\n

Typically, the minimum speed limit on these highways is 40 mph.<\/p>\n

However, if the posted speed limit is 70 mph, then the minimum instead becomes 50 mph.<\/p>\n

Of course, this doesn\u2019t mean drivers can just slow down and bog traffic on the highway. For example, if a driver camps in the left-hand lane and ends up impeding traffic<\/a>, he\/she can be given a citation.<\/p>\n

And you can still be ticketed even if you\u2019re not on the highway.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s considered a violation of state statutes for drivers to go so slow that they impede or block the \u201cnormal and reasonable movement of traffic.\u201d The only exception is for cases where a driver have to reduce speed to operate safely.<\/p>\n
