On a conventional road with one lane for each direction and a one-meter wide hard shoulder, a motorcycle driver uses the right hard shoulder to overtake a car, is this correct?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The hard shoulder is not intended for overtaking, as its use is reserved for emergencies and certain vehicles. As a general rule, all overtaking must be done on the left side of the vehicle to be passed. Overtaking on the right hard shoulder is a serious offense and a great danger to road safety. There are only very specific exceptions for overtaking on the right, but never using the hard shoulder on a conventional road.
