To slow!
Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22MPH. He thinks to himself, "this driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!". So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over.
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five very old ladies. Two in the front seat and three in the back - wide-eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him "Officer, I don't understand. I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"
"Ma'am" says the officer, "You weren't speeding but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers".
"Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly...twenty-two miles per hour!" the old woman says, a bit proudly.
The State Police Officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that "22" was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarassed, the woman grinned and thanked the police officer for pointing out her error.
"But before I let you go Ma'am, I have to ask....Is everyone in this car ok? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't uttered a single peep this whole time," the officer asks.
"Oh, they will be alright in a minute officer, we just got off Route 119".
