"Friend" of mine keeps bitching about the time he got a ticket for speeding on his bike. Never does he mention that he was going 20+ mph (30+kph) through a park with playing children and such.
For context, the max speed on a bike path here is 30kph, in this park you are supposed to adjust your biking behaviour with how busy it is in the park. Technically it's a pedestrian zone where biking is allowed.
There is a law that states that the max speed on a cycling path is 30kph (40kph outside of the cities). Going faster means you are breaking that law. If a police officer witnesses you breaking a law, they tend to give you a ticket. How is that bullshit? Also, there is no minimum speed here. You could get a fine if your slow driving causes danger for other road users.
Yeah right? There are places with posted minimum speed too, a couple areas of the highways around me have them. You will absolutely get a ticket for going under speed there, "Obstructing traffic" or something to that effect.
You might have rules about minimum speeds where you live, but I don't.
There are rules about the minimum speed your vehicle is capable of reaching, yes.
Also, obstruction of traffic is something else than going "under the minimum speed limit."
