Question 6948
Is the farm tractor with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 2,500 kg traveling correctly?
- Yes, but only if it has broken down.
- Yes, because since it does not exceed 3,500 kg of MMA, it must travel on the shoulder.
- No, because these vehicles must always travel on the roadway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because since it does not exceed 3,500 kg of MMA, it must travel on the shoulder.
Yes. A special vehicle with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of up to 3,500 kg, like this 2,500 kg tractor, must use the right shoulder if it is usable and wide enough and there is no road designated for it. Those over 3,500 kg use the roadway. It does not need to have a breakdown to use the shoulder.
