Correct answer
No, mopeds may not continue riding side by side.
No. The current Article 36.2 prohibits mopeds riding side by side. The two-abreast exception is for bicycles and does not authorise mopeds to ride that way, even if the shoulder is wide enough. Mopeds must use the right shoulder if passable and sufficient; otherwise only the essential part of the carriageway. Overtaking is a different manoeuvre subject to its own conditions and limits.
