Driving Too Slowly
About This Charge
Section 132 of the Highway Traffic Act prohibits driving at a speed so slow that it unnecessarily impedes the normal flow of traffic, absent a lawful reason for doing so. A conviction falls under the Act's general penalty of $60 to $1,000. These charges are less common than speeding tickets, and they depend heavily on context — traffic conditions, road type, and whether there was a legitimate reason for the reduced speed. R.S. Walia looks at that context closely before a client accepts that the speed in question was actually unreasonable.
Potential Consequences
- Fine of $60 to $1,000 under the Act's general penalty
- Charge depends on whether the slow speed was unreasonable in context
Why Representation Matters
A traffic charge is not proven simply because it was laid. The prosecution has to satisfy a number of technical requirements — accurate officer notes, properly calibrated equipment, a stop conducted the way the law requires. Where one of those is missing or flawed, a charge can be reduced or dropped. Mr. Walia goes through the disclosure on every file precisely to find that ground before the case is ever called.
