Ever been ticketed for driving too SLOW?
Hey team
*This post has been edited to include more information*
A friend of mine was ticked for going 85kmh in a 100kmh zone on the Northern Motorway, near Tristram Ave. It was at 10.30pm last Tuesday but she was traveling in the right lane. She was fined $150 and suffered 20 demerit points. The official wording on the fine was "slow vehicle or inconsiderate driving impeded traffic".
I want to know how common it is to be ticketed for traveling too slow under the limit. Has it ever happened to you? And if it has, what were the circumstances around what happened to you, and do you believe what happened was fair?
