Question 6957
When is a passenger car allowed to drive on the shoulder?
- In no case.
- For traffic flow reasons, whenever traffic is congested.
- When, for emergency reasons, it is traveling at an abnormally low speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: When, for emergency reasons, it is traveling at an abnormally low speed.
A passenger car moves onto the shoulder when an emergency, such as a breakdown, forces it to travel at an abnormally low speed that seriously disrupts traffic. This is the case with the gray car in the picture, which is giving off smoke. A traffic jam does not give it permission to do so.
