Besides, the speed limit, 55 or whatever it was, is the maximum speed allowed, it doesn't mean you have to go that speed. I have to remind myself of that when I'm aggravated by someone in front of me going under the limit.
Actually, if someone is behind you, you do have to go the limit so long as it's safe to do so. It's called impeding traffic if you are not.
At least in Ohio the maximum a minimum speed can be set at is 50mph, since he was traveling at 55mph there is no way he could have received a ticket for impeding traffic in Ohio. In Arizona you are required to pull over if 5 or more vehicles are queued behind you but that does not appear to apply here so again, no possibility of being found guilty of impeding traffic (and even when you are required to pull over you are only required to do so at a designated turn out or where safe to do so, not onto soft sand).
