What should you do when your speed on a limited-access highway drops below 40 mph?

Answer options

Why

Traveling far below the speed of highway traffic makes your car a hazard to drivers coming up from behind, and hazard flashers warn them early so they can slow down or change lanes. The shoulder is not a travel lane, and high beams do nothing to show that you are moving slowly.
