In Texas you can be ticketed for driving too slow. But, it's rare unless a minimum speed is posted. When you go dangerously slow such that you are impeding traffic and cars are stacking up behind you they can ticket you for reckless driving but this is rare. If you are driving slower then the speed limit you should stay in the right lane unless turning left or passing a slower vehicle. In any event, 55 mph doesn't seem like an unreasonably slow speed, so you're probably all right.
That will depend on the location of the violations. Many interstates have a posted minimum speed and you can be fined if going below that speed.
If the posted speed is not safe at that time
It is important to drive the safe speed limit that is posted. A speeding ticket in Florida will add points to a North Carolina license.
You can be ticketed for traveling at an unsafe speed regardless of the speed limit.
In Illinois, if an officer observes a driver exceeding the speed limit by more than 40 mph, they are required to issue a reckless driving ticket in addition to the speeding ticket. This is because driving at such excessive speeds is considered a form of reckless driving under Illinois law. The officer has discretion in certain circumstances, but typically, both charges would be applicable.
No it will not void the ticket. There are standard speed limits set by state statute which must be obeyed whether they are posted or not. Exceeding these can result in a violation.
The slower traffic keep right sign means that drivers who choose to drive less than the speed limit should stay in the right-hand lane. For example, 18-wheelers going up a hill often experience decreased speed because of the weight they haul. Unless passing an even slower vehicle, the slower truckers need to stay in the right-hand lane. Vehicles driving significantly below posted speed limits should also use their flashers until they are able to match the posted speed limit.
