that said, on most highways with minimum speeds, there's usually (but not
always) a hard shoulder (on which you're expected to use to find a good
place off the pavement to put your vehicle until it can be moved to a less
dangerous).

the vehicle" or what? What exactly will you get a ticket for?

Not sure what they would write you up with in Germany, but it would be an
easy write up as failure to maintain minimum speed and possibly a parking
violation (if you didn't get it off the pavement) in Oklahoma.  About the
only way you'd get written up on roadworthiness grounds here is if the car
had a salvage title, in which the ticket for not having a valid
registration plate would be my bigger concern...
