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.

While I'm not sure I want a "law" and tickets issued - I will say nothing makes me madder than someone driving down the fast lane when the left lane is entirely clear and a driver refuses or is too ignorant to pull over to the left lane.

63 in a 65 zone is a bit extreme in my opinion. If I was driving down the road and a police car pulled up behind me I would check my speed and try to maintain it a few miles under the speed limit so that I wouldn't get a ticket for speeding.

Good for the cops. That sort of traffic obstruction creates all sorts of problems, even in only moderately heavy traffic.
