On a road outside a built-up area without a shoulder, where must a special vehicle with an MMA of up to 3,500 kg drive?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

General Traffic Regulations stipulate that special vehicles with a Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM) not exceeding 3,500 kg must compulsorily drive on the shoulder if it is passable and sufficient. However, in the absence of a shoulder (as the question poses), the rule dictates that they must use the indispensable part of the roadway, driving as close as possible to the right edge. This position is mandatory to facilitate visibility and safe overtaking by faster users, thus avoiding obstructing traffic or creating hazardous situations.
