Here's one.
We nearly all drive right.
So what is the minimum speed on a motorway?

70mph
same as dual carridgeway, unless oitherwise stated
But I as most other people tend to view it, 70mpg + 10% + 2 = 79mph or roughly 80mph. Though I would always drive according to weather and driving conditions

The MINIMUM legal speed on a UK Motorway is 50mph unless it is subject to a Variable Speed control [M25 SW section], roadworks control or just plain normal traffic flow.

I do believe that it's enshrined in a wonderfully unreadable document that deals with Motorways, extent of application, speed limits & etc - Something Like Motorways Regulations - can't be sure.
Try the Highway Code - that usually works for me.

There is no minimum spped limit Frank. Abnormal loads are often much slower than 50mph.

The Highway Code does not specify a minimum speed (http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/23.htm).

I think we all ought not respond further on this as Toecap is misleading people with the title to answer a question he has not put. The question put is
"What is the minimum speed on a motorway" not
"What is the minimum speed limit"
Hence 0 mph

Rule of thumb for speed for all roads as quoted from Roadcraft, The Police Drivers Manual:
"You should drive at a speed that enables you to stop in a controlled manner on your side of the road, in the distance you can see to be clear"
The IAM then adds "except where other limitations apply" recognising speed limits.
As for motorway speeds it is an offence under the road traffic act to impede traffic, a driver, driving excessively slowly on the motorway can (and have been) prosecuted for driving without due care and attention.
In previous prosecutions car drivers have been prosecuted at speeds of 18mph, 32mph, 40 mph and 50mph.
Food for thought ??
