Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Article 31(1) of the General Traffic Regulations expressly provides that the driver of an automobile or a special vehicle with a maximum authorized mass of more than 3,500 kilograms must drive on the roadway and not on the shoulder, except for emergency reasons. For its part, Article 36(1) requires vehicles with a MAM of no more than 3,500 kg that, because of an emergency, travel at an abnormally low speed and seriously disrupt traffic to use the right shoulder if it is passable and sufficient; if it is not, they must occupy only the necessary part of the roadway.
