The irony of this in a state known for having a high number of "rez cars" isn't lost here... that said, on most highways with minimum speeds, there's usually (but not always) a hard shoulder (on which you're expected to use to find a good place off the pavement to put your vehicle until it can be moved to a less dangerous). > > > "Preventable"? How does that look in law? Is that "Failure to maintain the vehicle" or what? What exactly will you get a ticket for?
Not sure what they would write you up with in Germany, but it would be an easy write up as failure to maintain minimum speed and possibly a parking violation (if you didn't get it off the pavement) in Oklahoma. About the only way you'd get written up on roadworthiness grounds here is if the car had a salvage title, in which the ticket for not having a valid registration plate would be my bigger concern...
