BDifficulty 2/5

An emergency makes a car with MAM no greater than 3,500 kg travel at an abnormally low speed, seriously disrupting traffic. If the right shoulder is usable and sufficient, where must it travel?

Correct answer

On the right shoulder.

On the right shoulder under article 36.1. If it is not usable and sufficient, use the indispensable part of the carriageway. The rule requires an emergency, abnormally low speed and serious disruption together; it does not permit shoulder use simply to bypass a queue. It differs from special shoulder uses allowed for other vehicles.
