May a vehicle that is about to be overtaken move onto the hard shoulder to facilitate an overtaking manoeuvre?
Overtaking
Explanation
To facilitate an overtaking maneuver, the driver of the vehicle being overtaken must **position themselves at the right edge of their lane**, but **without encroaching on the hard shoulder**. This is important because the hard shoulder is not designed for driving, and its improper use can endanger both the overtaking driver and the one being overtaken. Additionally, the driver being overtaken must allow the overtaking without increasing their speed and, if necessary, reduce it if any dangerous situation arises.
Therefore, the correct answer is that **the hard shoulder should not be encroached upon** to facilitate an overtaking maneuver. This rule helps maintain road safety and avoid unnecessary risky situations.
