Correct answer
No, the usable part of the shoulder must remain clear.
No. A voluntary stop on an interurban road must be off the carriageway on the right, keeping the usable part of the shoulder clear. Lasting under two minutes or setting down a passenger does not permit occupying that part of the shoulder. Immobilisation caused by breakdown, crash or another emergency is a different case governed by the relevant safety and warning rules.
