Going too slowly can be more dangerous than speeding

On Monday, I left Paphos at 10.30am and drove to Nicosia, returning at 1.30pm. I saw three police speed checks along the route.
Generally speaking, driving standards were good (apart from the lack of indicators). However, whilst these highways have a maximum speed limit of 100kph, they also have a minimum speed requirement of 60kph.
There was crane lumbering along partly on the hard shoulder; there were two lorries obviously overloaded, crawling along at about 10kph. A JCB certainly not going at 60kph. Other road users were approaching behind these obstacles and either braking sharply or worse, veering out into the other lane causing other vehicles to brake sharply.
I would suggest these are probably more dangerous than others who might be travelling at 120kph.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
