Correct answer
Leave the motorway at the first exit.
Vehicles travelling at less than 60 kilometres per hour on a motorway or dual carriageway because of an emergency or technical reasons must leave it at the first possible exit so as not to remain on that road. They must never continue travelling below that speed as if nothing were happening, nor is it advisable to stop on the hard shoulder to ask for help.
