My father was pulled over a few years back when his vans u joint went out. The posted minimum was 40, he was going 50, the rest of traffic was going 70. If it werent for the fact his van wasn't able to go any faster, the state trooper was going to cite him for impeding traffic.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Ever see a truck drop it's front u joint and catch the prop shaft in a crack between the slabs of concrete on a road? One did that in front of me. The rear end jumped about 8 feet in the air. The truck rotated 90 degrees to the left and dropped in a 6 foot ditch.
If I had been the trooper it would have been towed away.
