  2. Yes, because the shoulder is wide.
  3. Yes, because you are required to do so.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. A passenger car must use the roadway and must not move onto the shoulder to make passing easier, even if the shoulder is wide. The shoulder is reserved for vehicles such as bicycles, mopeds, or carts, or for an emergency.
