N.C.P.I.—Motor Vehicle 202.90
DRIVING TOO SLOWLY-PRESCRIBED MINIMUM SPEEDS.
The motor vehicle law provides that it is unlawful to operate a
passenger vehicle at less than [40 miles per hour when the posted
maximum limit is 55 miles per hour] [45 miles per hour when the posted
maximum speed limit is 60 miles per hour or greater] when a sign
indicating the minimum speed is posted.
A violation of this law is negligence within itself.
(Do not use any part of the remainder of this instruction
except as the evidence justifies.)
However, this law does not apply when
[the vehicle is towing another vehicle]
[an advisory safe speed sign indicates a slower speed]
[(state any other pertinent exception)].2
