Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
No, as a general rule. Repairing a broken-down vehicle on a public road is prohibited, even if it is not in the way. Even the tow truck operator is not always allowed to do it. They may do so only as an exception, when the repair takes less time than removing the vehicle or is necessary to remove it. In the image, a man is leaning over the engine with the hood open.
