Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Stop the vehicle because of an emergency or a breakdown.

You may stop your passenger car on the shoulder of a high-capacity divided highway (autovía) because of an emergency or a breakdown that prevents you from continuing. You must not stop or park there by choice, for example to talk on the phone, or use it to pass on the right. In the image, the passenger car is stopped on the right shoulder, and a person wearing a vest is waiting next to the guardrail.
