Question 6906

Are you allowed to drive over the right edge line?

  1. Yes, because there is no oncoming traffic.
  2. No, because I must not drive on the line or on the shoulder.
  3. Yes, because it is a solid roadway edge line.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because I must not drive on the line or on the shoulder.

In a passenger car, you must drive on the roadway, within your lane, rather than on the shoulder or on the edge line, as the blue passenger car in the image is doing. You may cross that line only when necessary, for example to stop on the shoulder in an emergency. Having no oncoming traffic changes nothing.
