Question 88 in the bank

What should a tractor driver do when he obstructs the traffic behind him on a road?

A two-way road with trees on both sides. A tractor with a white-and-red tank drives on the right, next to the shoulder, and a white vehicle approaches from the opposite direction.
  1. Drive on the right lane of the road,only
  2. Correct answer: Drive on the right side of the road and even on the hard shoulder if it is required and safe
  3. He is permitted to drive on the left lane or on the right hard shoulder only.
  4. Always drive on the hard shoulder.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Drive on the right side of the road and even on the hard shoulder if it is required and safe

A tractor drives slowly and may hold up the traffic behind it. It must therefore drive on the right side of the road and, if required and possible, even move onto the hard shoulder, so that the vehicles behind can overtake it safely. Moving onto the shoulder depends on it being required and possible, so it is not mandatory in every situation.
