Question 2941
In the event of a breakdown on a freeway, are you allowed to drive on the left shoulder?
- No, because passenger cars are prohibited from driving on the shoulder.
- No, you must drive in the right lane or on the right shoulder.
- Yes, if the breakdown occurred while you were driving in the left lane.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, you must drive in the right lane or on the right shoulder.
A breakdown does not permit driving on the left shoulder. If the emergency requires driving abnormally slowly and seriously disrupts traffic, use the right shoulder when it is usable and wide enough, or only the strictly necessary portion of the roadway.
