If, due to a breakdown, a car is travelling at an abnormally low speed without interrupting traffic, where must it drive?
Traffic rules
Explanation
When a car experiences a **breakdown** and is traveling at an **abnormally reduced speed**, it is important to know where it should drive to avoid disrupting traffic.
- **Do not invade the shoulder**: The shoulder is intended for certain vehicles such as bicycles, mopeds, and special vehicles that do not exceed 3,500 kilograms. Cars are not included in this list, so they should not drive on the shoulder.
- **Drive on the right side of the roadway**: If the vehicle is still functioning but cannot reach the appropriate speed, it should drive on the right side of the roadway without invading the shoulder. This allows other vehicles to overtake it safely.
- **Exit the road if possible**: On highways or expressways, it is advisable to exit at the first available exit to avoid obstructing traffic.
By following these guidelines, a safer and smoother flow of traffic is ensured for all road users.
