Show answer

Correct answer

  • BSí.Yes.
Explanation

Yes. Special vehicles with a maximum authorised mass of no more than 3,500 kg, such as this tractor, must drive on the right-hand hard shoulder if it is usable and wide enough (Article 36 of the General Traffic Regulations). It is not there because of a breakdown: that is where it must drive.
