Can you fail a driving test for driving too slow?

I’m a cautious driver, or at least I have been since I’ve been doing behind-the-wheel training. While I feel confident, I don’t like to drive fast. Can I fail a driving test for driving too slowly?

Being a cautious driver isn’t a terrible quality. But you can definitely fail a driving test for driving too slow. This is because, after you get your license,
driving too slowly
can result in a ticket.
While this usually isn’t an issue on city streets, driving too slowly on the highway is dangerous. Because of the danger posed by slow-moving vehicles, most interstates have a minimum speed limit of 45 mph.
If you’re nervous about your test, practice makes perfect. Slowly ramp up your speed over time so you feel more comfortable at higher rates of speed.
With any luck, you can pass your driving test with flying colors! But before you get behind the wheel, use the
