DDifficulty 3/5

You drive a coach on a motorway. With no breakdown or emergency, a passenger asks to get off at an unscheduled stop. May you stop on the ordinary shoulder outside an area designated for stopping?

Correct answer

No, it is forbidden.

No. Article 94 prohibits stops on motorways and dual carriageways except in designated stopping areas. An ordinary request to alight does not authorise a shoulder stop; being off the carriageway or wearing a reflective vest does not authorise it either. Breakdown or emergency immobilisation has its own safety procedure, but that is not this question’s situation.
