If you must drive more slowly than the traffic flow, where should you travel?

Traveling more slowly than the general flow of traffic is best done in the right lane. This is primarily for safety and efficiency reasons. The right lane is typically intended for slower-moving vehicles, allowing those driving at a faster pace to pass on the left. By staying in the right lane, you minimize the risk of creating disruptions in the flow of traffic and provide a clear path for others who are traveling at or above the speed limit.

This practice also helps maintain a more organized and predictable driving environment, reducing the chances of collisions that can occur when faster-moving vehicles encounter slower ones unexpectedly in the left or center lanes. Using hazard lights is not recommended in this situation as they indicate a vehicle is stopped or experiencing an emergency, which could confuse other drivers.
