That doesn't mean much other than that she drives slow. My own sainted mother, God rest her soul, had a spotless driving record but ran probably half the drivers in south Mississippi off the road. She drove with one foot on the brake and one on the accelerator, never hesitating to step on the brakes and accelerator at the same time. She had multiple accidents because the concept of turning the wheel to move to the other lane was foreign to her, whenever someone was merging instead of moving over for them she'd stand on the brakes and hold her line, either hitting the person merging or causing the person behind her to hit her. She had a clean driving record however, because she never got over 45 mph.
