  2. Yes, in all cases.
  3. Yes, as long as the vehicles do not travel alongside each other for more than 200 meters or 15 seconds.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, as long as the vehicles do not travel alongside each other for more than 200 meters or 15 seconds.

Yes. Vehicles required to use the shoulder, such as the moped and the farm tractor, may pass each other. The limits are the time and distance spent side by side, which must not exceed 15 seconds or 200 meters. If passing would take longer, the moped must not begin.
