When you're walking/riding/driving so
slow that you get aggraveted by the situation, so you say "I'm speeding like a plum!". Since plums can't speed at all the direct meaning is contrasted in a sarcastic
definition, emphasized as going so
slow, almost stopping.

Corey: Hurry up
Tim! We're late for the soccer game!
Tim: I can't! I'm doing the best I can but You're too
heavy.. we are speeding like a plum!
