State Trooper & The Old lady

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a state trooper sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH.
Thinking to himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder," he turns on his lights and siren and pulls the driver over.
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies- two in the front seat, and three in the back- all with eyes wide open & white as a ghost.
The driver, obviously confused, says to him:
"Officer, I don't understand...I was doing exactly the speed limit...What's the problem?"
"Ma'am," the officer replies, "You weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers."
"Slower than the speed limit?" she asked..."No sir, I was driving the speed limit exactly...
Twenty-Two miles an hour," the old lady says.
The State Trooper, trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that "22" was the Route number, not the speed limit.
A bit embarrassed, the old lady grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.
"But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask...Is everyone in this car okay?
These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time," the trooper asks.
"Oh, they'll be alright in a minute, officer..We just got off Route 119."
