Correct answer
Stop the vehicle due to an emergency or breakdown.
Stop on the right shoulder or where it causes least obstruction if unable to continue, signal the situation as required and seek assistance. If able to continue safely and requiring recovery, leave the traffic lanes and head for the first available exit using the right shoulder. Exceptional shoulder use is therefore not always limited to remaining stationary; it does not permit voluntarily stopping to make a phone call or overtaking on the right.
