How slow is slow. There is no min speed limit. Cars like that French one are in the same class as say the new Ami. The new Ami has a 6kW so presumably passes the 4kW rule but presumably fails with a top speed of 28mph, but you’d have to be seriously deranged to want to mix with 40Tn lorries on a motorway.

Quote The speed limit for all licence-free cars is 45 km/h, regardless of the make, for a power of 6 kW (8.15 HP) So, 28mph for your Sans Permis. Same as a 50cc moped. I rather suspect that this would be the definition of slow moving vehicle, and yet there is no minimum speed limit, after all no one goes around handing out fines when you are stuck in a slow moving queue on the M6. I imagine its relative, in normal running conditions where the likely slowest moving vehicle will be between 45 and 50 and most travelling faster than that, that something going 28mph or less would be dangerous. You could always pootle up and down your local motorway in one and see how long it takes to get a pull from Traffic or end up being hosed off the wheels of a 36 tonner.
