I find it hard to believe that a qualified driving instructor would tell you to drive at whatever the maximum is allowed on the road.

You should drive at a speed that you are comfortable with taking into account the prevailing conditions but only up to the speed limit of that road. However you should also ‘go with the flow’ but not if it exceeds the speed limit of that road, except that sometimes in heavy traffic, it is safer to just ‘go with the flow’. If you are not comfortable ‘going with the flow’ then you should pull over at the first opportunity and get out of the way. This can happen in adverse weather conditions where visibility is reduced and your interpretation of what is a safe speed to travel at differs to other drivers.

I guess you got 3 minors during your test because you didn’t ‘go with the flow’.

You can get pulled for driving too slow if in doing so you are creating a hazard behind you, but it is called ‘driving without due care and attention’ although I have never come across such a situation.
