is it illegal to drive below the speed limit in england?

No. The speed limit is a maximum. The only place there is a minimum speed is on the Motorways, where you have to drive at a minimum of 30mph.

However, it is against the Highway Code (and therefore technically illegal) to drive in a manner which would obstruct other motorists so the police would be within their rights to stop you for driving "too slowly" on any road.

There is occasionally, or at least in theory, a certain minimum speed which must be observed, denoted by that speed surrounded with a blue circle as opposed to the more usual red circle given for maximum speeds.  I say  "at least in theory" as I've never actually seen one myself!

It's been a while since i drove one, but I always thought that tractors had to pull over at the next safe place to allow a queue of 6 cars or more to pass if they were unable to overtake.

eggman, you'll find the blue ones in the Dartford Tunnel.
