Correct answer
In the right-hand lane.
If we suffer a breakdown or another type of emergency on a motorway or dual carriageway that forces us to travel at an abnormally low speed, our vehicle may travel in the right-hand lane until the next exit, without entering the hard shoulder, except when it inconveniences other road users, in which case it must travel on the right-hand hard shoulder or on the minimum necessary part of the carriageway.
