Correct answer
No
No. The shoulder is not an ordinary lane for passenger cars. An exception requires statutory conditions, such as an emergency forcing abnormally slow travel that seriously disrupts traffic, with a maximum authorised mass not exceeding 3,500 kg and a usable shoulder wide enough. Choosing to drive slowly is not enough. Other vehicles, such as certain special vehicles, have different rules.
