You are driving on a motorway at an abnormally low speed due to a breakdown. Where must you drive?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
When a vehicle experiences a **breakdown on a motorway** and must travel at an abnormally reduced speed, it is important to follow certain rules to ensure the safety of all road users.
- **Drive in the right lane**: On motorways and dual carriageways, vehicles must drive in the right lane, especially if their speed is below normal due to a breakdown. This helps to avoid severely obstructing the flow of other vehicles traveling at normal speeds.
- **Avoid the left lane**: The left lane is mainly used for overtaking and driving at higher speeds. Using it at a reduced speed could cause dangerous situations and congestion.
- **Use of the hard shoulder**: Although the hard shoulder can be used in emergency situations, it is not the appropriate place for continuous driving. It should only be used if the vehicle cannot continue driving or if it is necessary to stop completely.
In summary, if your vehicle has a breakdown and can still move, you should drive in the **right lane** to minimize the impact on traffic, as long as you do not severely obstruct the flow.
