No one understands the new speed limits — Drivers are being fined for going too fast, but also too slow, and will pay up to $238

Getting fined for driving too slowly sounds contradictory, but it is a real possibility.

Driving around the nation comes with a plethora of risks and dangers. Speeding kills and has become one of the most reprehensible crimes for anyone to commit. Everybody thinks that they are the best of the best drivers and can easily fit into the next Fast and Furious movie.

But one state in the union could fine drivers as much as $238 for driving too slowly.

Slow and steady wins the race… Not so much anymore

We have all become all too aware of the dangers of driving in this great nation.

The litany of dangers that could arise when simply heading down to the store for your weekly purchases has become a serious concern for the millions of drivers in the nation.

Speeding can come with hefty fines and even a prison sentence in the worst cases. 

And without the forethought of checking your speed, you could be in for a world of hurt. Especially if the long arm of the law pays a semblance of attention to your vehicle.

To address the speedy Gonzales imitators on the roads, states regularly make changes to the speed limits on certain roads or regions. But driving too slowly can also lead to a world of issues.

How fast do you drive on your daily commute?

Snail speed, sloth delivery. Driving in the slow lane creates its own dangers

Driving slowly might seem like the best and safest way to get to your destination.

But what you might not be aware of is that driving too slowly can lead to its own set of dangers. While it might seem safer to err on the side of caution, slow driving can create dangers not only for yourself and the occupants in your car but falso or the millions of drivers around the nation.

The roads of our nation were designed with a specific traffic flow in mind.

Exceeding the indicated speed limit is the most obvious way to attract the attention of law enforcement. Driving during the recent snowstorms also comes with its own dangers.

The impact of safe, slow driving, reducing the odds of a crash, has been challenged as millions of drivers are now facing the full might of the long arm of the law.

How would you feel if you drove into your city, only to be stopped by law enforcement and given a fine for driving too slowly? We need to understand that slow driving can raise alarm bells for the police and government officals that litter the busiest streets in the nation.

One state will now issue a $238 penalty for excessively slow driving

The Golden State has issued a warning to the millions of drivers in California that driving too slowly can lead to fines. And the number of drivers who may be penalized is raising concerns.

A substantial fine is no laughing matter and can quickly throw your whole budget out of balance in the blink of an eye.

California state officials have stated that these penalties could reach as high as $238. State officials have also implemented new traffic signals, which come with their own set of potential fines.

The California DMV has warned that drivers need to check that their speed does not affect the millions of cars on the roads.

Finding that sweet spot of optimal driving speed is a challenge. The understanding that slow driving can lead to fines in the Golden State is a clear indication that your speed can affect those around you. 

Even if the speed you choose is “safe and slow”.
