What is the consequence of impeding traffic while driving too slowly?

Driving too slowly and impeding traffic can indeed lead to fines. In many jurisdictions, including Maryland, traffic laws are designed to ensure that vehicles maintain a reasonable speed that corresponds with the flow of traffic. When a driver operates their vehicle at a speed significantly below the posted limit without good reason, it can cause delays and frustration for other drivers. This disruption can create hazardous situations on the roadway, as other drivers may attempt to pass or maneuver around the slow-moving vehicle in ways that are unsafe.

Enforcement typically results in a citation or fine for the slow driver, as they are considered to be violating the rules of the road designed to promote safe and efficient traffic flow. While the potential for losing driving privileges or accumulating points on a license may exist in some scenarios, the most immediate and likely consequence for impeding traffic by driving too slowly is the issuance of a fine.
