Question 5040

When a breakdown requires you to drive on a freeway at an abnormally low speed, where must you drive?

  1. In the right lane and, if it seriously disrupts traffic, you must drive on the shoulder.
  2. In the right lane, always.
  3. On the shoulder so that you are not an obstacle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: In the right lane and, if it seriously disrupts traffic, you must drive on the shoulder.

If a breakdown makes you drive abnormally slowly on a freeway, you must stay in the right lane. Only if you are seriously disrupting traffic and your vehicle does not exceed 3,500 kg must you move onto the right shoulder, provided it is usable and wide enough. You must also leave the freeway at the first exit.
