Why must you not drive extra slowly for no good reason?

Driving extra slowly without a good reason can cause several issues on the road.

Firstly, when you drive too slowly, it obstructs the flow of traffic. This can lead to frustration for other drivers and potentially result in dangerous driving behaviors.

Secondly, it increases the risk of rear-end collisions. If vehicles are moving at different speeds, the likelihood of a driver not being able to react in time to a slower vehicle in front increases, which can cause accidents.

Lastly, driving excessively slowly can encourage other drivers behind you to overtake in unsafe conditions. This can lead to dangerous maneuvers which may not only put the overtaking driver at risk but also the drivers and passengers in oncoming traffic.

According to German traffic laws, maintaining a reasonable speed is essential for safety and the smooth flow of traffic. All these factors combined highlight the importance of adhering to posted speed limits and maintaining a speed that is appropriate for the conditions, without unnecessarily slowing down.
