As US States continue to feel the budget squeeze, I expect the ones with slowpoke sections in their traffic code will finally decide to actually enforce them. In Idaho there are two slowpoke sections. One is on impeding the flow of traffic and the other states if you are holding up three or more vehicles you *must* pull over at the earliest safe location.
Grandmas and self-appointed guardians of public safety poking along 10 or 15 MPH under the limit most likely cause more wrecks than speeders, due to people who just want to drive *at* the limit try to get around the slowpokes, who blissfully drive on past the carnage they've caused.
Worse are the slowpokes who mash the gas to the floor when you try to pass them. Those jerks need to be caught and have their licenses permanently revoked.
