If due to a breakdown you are driving your car at an abnormally reduced speed on a motorway and disturbing traffic, what should you do?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that if a vehicle up to 3,500 kg (such as a car) has an emergency and is forced to drive at an abnormally reduced speed (below 60 km/h on motorways), it must drive on the right shoulder if it disturbs traffic. Furthermore, for safety, it must leave the road at the very first available exit. You should not continue to a distant rest area or stop if the vehicle can still move, as the goal is to clear the fast road as soon as possible.
