Are you talking cars and breaking the speed limit or do you mean driving 70 in a 70 zone etc

Can you be fined for driving too slow
Although there is no minimum speed limit on the majority of UK roads, you can still be fined for driving too slow if it is seen that you are a hazard to other road users. There is no specific penalty for driving too slowly and as such, penalties may be as little as a verbal warning by a police officer along with a lecture of the dangers of driving too slow and in more serious cases, a motorist may find themselves in court charged with driving without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other road users (penalty code CD30). The more serious penalty CD30 comes with penalty points on a motorists licence, anywhere from 3 to 9 along with a fine. Penalty points stay on a motorists licence for four years from the date of the offence and are likely to seriously impact the cost of car insurance.
The amount of penalty points set between 3 and 9 and a fine of anything up to a maximum of £5,000 are determined by the seriousness of the incident and the decision of the court.
You can also be fined for going the speed limit too, it depends on road conditions and traffic. If you are impeding it, yeah. If you are going too fast on road condition, yeah.
Only time you should go exactly the speed limit is in rural areas and small towns. They are normally enforced. This is the US I am speaking of.
