Correct answer
Yes, but you must leave the motorway at the first exit.
Yes, use the right shoulder and leave the motorway at the first exit, under Articles 36(1) and 38(2). If the fault prevents safe continuation, stop safely and seek assistance. This emergency situation is distinct from extraordinary congestion use under Article 36(3): authorised and signed sections, stopped traffic lanes, a 30 km/h maximum, single file and no risk to users required to travel on the shoulder.
