Correct answer
No, use a designated stopping area.
No. On motorways and dual carriageways, voluntary stops are permitted only in designated areas under Article 94. A brief stop or hazard lights do not authorise occupying the usable shoulder. Breakdowns and emergencies have specific measures; this scenario excludes them. Use a designated area to stop.
