Your friend is right. In most states, you have to maintain a "speed
consistent with the flow of traffic." If you are on some Podunk two lane
highway, most states also have a law which says you MUST pull over if there
are more than five (but it varies) cars behind you. If you are on a fourlane
divided highway, and you are on the far right, cars are supposed to PASS you,
so it does not matter how slow you are going, as long as you are above the
minimum (and minimum speed limits are usually posted).
So....Maybe you pulled a draw, depending on whether you are talking about
4/6/8 lane divided freeways, or whether you are talking about 2 lane/two way
traffic.
