Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 3.7-5
Statutory Negligence - Slow Speed
We have a statute that provides that no person shall operate a motor vehicle at a speed lower than
forty miles per hour on any limited access divided highway. No person shall operate a motor
vehicle on any other highway at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and
reasonable movement of traffic. [<Insert if applicable:> This statute is not violated when 1)
reduced speed is necessary for safe operation of a motor vehicle, 2) in the event of an
emergency, 3) when the speed of the motor vehicle is in compliance with the law, or 4) when the
motor vehicle is operated in compliance with the direction of an officer.]
