Question 4305
Is this tractor with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 3,400 kilograms driving correctly on the shoulder?
- Yes, but only if it is doing so because of a breakdown.
- Yes.
- No, because it is required to drive on the right side of the roadway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes.
Yes. A special vehicle with an MMA of up to 3,500 kg, like this 3,400 kg tractor, must use the right shoulder if it is usable and wide enough and there is no designated route for it. If the shoulder is unsuitable, it uses only the space it needs on the roadway. Special vehicles over 3,500 kg travel on the roadway. The tractor does not need to have a breakdown to use the shoulder.
