BDifficulty 3/5

An emergency forces a car with a maximum authorised mass no greater than 3,500 kg to travel on a motorway at an abnormally low speed, seriously disrupting traffic. It can continue safely and the right shoulder is usable and sufficient. Where must it travel until leaving at the first exit?

Correct answer

On the right shoulder in the stated conditions.

On the right shoulder under article 36.1, leaving the motorway at the first exit under article 38.2. If the shoulder is not usable and sufficient, use only the necessary part of the carriageway. Normal queue-related slowness does not itself trigger this rule. If unable to continue safely, follow article 130 immobilisation and assistance rules.
