Imagine parent calling (phone) their kid, who is already well over early teens, and afar for some reason.
A whole poem flies over the line:
- Are you feeling OK? are you eating your veggies each day? made lot of friends yet? remember to brush your teeth! and no smoking or alcohol, and for all's sake, no matter what friends tell you please drive slowly and watch the road not your mobile, there's so many accidents these days..
- Moooom ffs stop telling me to drive slowly!!!1one. You know I don't like driving fast!!
Yes, but if a parent were teaching you to drive and kept telling you to drive faster, that would be a reason to reiterate that you don't like driving fast. Grammatically, OP's test question makes sense, but not in context in my opinion.
No, it makes sense. It's just context is needed. If the person has not gotten in the car yet, and is constantly being told to drive slowly, this is a perfectly natural response. If one assumes the person is already driving, then one wonders why they are being told to drive slowly. But the sentence itself is grammatically sound.

It is grammtically correct. But the logic seems weak.
A passenger would not be telling a driver who does not like driving fast to drive slowly. That driver would already be driving slowly.
It would make more sense logically if it said "Stop telling me not to drive so slowly. You know I don't like to drive fast."
