Correct answer
Yes, an abnormally reduced speed can cause accidents.
Yes. An abnormally low speed without justification can obstruct traffic and increase rear-end collision risk. Article 49 allows travel below the minimum in its specified cases, for example when traffic, vehicle or road conditions prevent a higher speed without risk. Do not accelerate to reach the minimum if unsafe. If you cannot reach it and there is rear-end collision danger, use hazard lights while travelling.
