Explanation
Driving below the speed limit can disrupt the normal flow of traffic, potentially causing congestion and increasing the likelihood of accidents. When vehicles travel significantly slower than the surrounding traffic, it can lead to tailgating, sudden lane changes, and other unsafe maneuvers as drivers attempt to pass. This can create hazardous conditions and increase the risk of collisions. Therefore, it is important to maintain a speed consistent with the flow of traffic.
