Driving too slow = fail?

Fail your driving for driving too slow?

Driving too slowly can affect the outcome of your UK driving test if it causes other road users to slow down, creates hesitation, or shows a lack of confidence. While there's no minimum speed you must always drive, you should make steady progress whenever it is safe and appropriate. Driving well below the speed limit without a good reason can result in driving faults or, in more serious cases, a fail.
