Explanation
When a vehicle experiences a **breakdown on a motorway** and cannot maintain the required minimum speed, it is important to follow certain measures to ensure the safety of all road users.
- **Drive on the hard shoulder**: If the vehicle can still move, but at a reduced speed that hinders traffic, it should be driven on the **right hard shoulder**. This allows traffic to flow without obstacles.
- **Leave the motorway**: It is crucial to exit the motorway or dual carriageway at the **first available exit**. This minimizes the risk of accidents and facilitates the arrival of assistance services if necessary.
These actions are necessary to avoid road obstructions and ensure the safety of all drivers.
