A Maryland woman was shocked after she received a traffic ticket on Interstate 95 -- because it wasn't for speeding.



In fact, she was driving two mph under the speed limit.



The driver, who didn't want her name used, told News4 she was driving in the left lane of I-95 on Laurel last Friday when she was pulled over and cited for failing to move right.

According to the citation, she had been driving 63 mph in a 65 mph zone.



[I was] really shocked, she said. I thought, 'Oh my God, you've got to be kidding me'.

This has nothing to do with her going 2 mph under the speed limit. The law states that slower traffic must keep right except to pass. She was in the passing lane and hence broke the law. I will also add that the left lane is also used by emergency response vehicles. A person going under the speed limit in the left lane can cause response delays.
