It is really very simple; obey the law!
So what really is a slow moving vehicle? If driving at the speed limit or slightly above, I don't think in ANY state that is considered a slow moving vehicle. Otherwise, a group of cars going 85 in a 60 would be perfectly legal. Would love to hear from a LEO on this if any are out there.
