Correct answer
No
No. The shoulder is not an ordinary car lane. An emergency or specific authorisation may trigger special rules; choosing to drive slowly or avoiding congestion is insufficient. If an emergency requires abnormally low speed, follow the regulatory conditions and leave the motorway at the first exit you can safely reach.
