No, I'm pointing out how seem to think going below the limit is also a crime that cops can pull you over for.

They can ticket you for unsafe driving if you're going significantly below the speed of traffic. And in my area there is actually a minimum speed on the freeways.

But the way you worded it made it sound like you think you have to go exactly the speed limit at all times.

Well I was responding to someone who said:

I’ve seen people get pulled over for doing 60 in a 65 on a highway where everyone is doing 70-85, because it’s dangerously slow with only 2 lanes.

And then said what I think they were pulled over for - but I don't believe they could pull someone over for going the speed limit. That's all.
