Correct answer
Yes, whenever it is suitable and wide enough.
When a moped travels on an interurban road, it must use the hard shoulder on its right whenever it is suitable and wide enough. If it is not, it must use the minimum necessary part of the carriageway. It does not need to be travelling on emergency duty; this rule always applies.
