Correct answer
- CCircular por el arcén y salir por la primera salida.Drive on the hard shoulder and leave at the first exit.
Under Article 36.1 of the General Traffic Regulations, vehicles of up to 3,500 kg that, because of an emergency, travel at an abnormally low speed and seriously disrupt traffic must use the hard shoulder on their right if it is usable. On a motorway, you should also leave it at the first exit.
