Question 834 in the bank

Where would you stand your vehicle after being required to pull onto the “hard shoulder”?

A light-coloured SUV stands on the right side of a two-way road between fields, next to a yellow edge line. A truck is visible in the distance.
  1. Across the canal that is adjacent to the road’s edge.
  2. No more than 40cm from the road’s edge.
  3. With its two left wheels on the road.
  4. Correct answer: As far as possible from the edge of the road.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: As far as possible from the edge of the road.

When you are forced to stop on the hard shoulder, keep the vehicle as far as possible from the edge of the road, so that it does not disturb traffic and is not hit by passing vehicles. Standing close to the road, and especially with wheels on the road, endangers the vehicle and the people getting out of it.
