On the A32 near Oldeberkoop, traffic has been at a complete standstill for twenty minutes. Your navigation promises a shorter route if you leave the motorway at the next exit. Your car has no breakdown. What do you do?
You reverse at walking pace along the hard shoulder to the exit you just passed
You drive along the hard shoulder to the exit, because after standing still this long that is allowed
You stay in the queue; the hard shoulder is for a breakdown or another emergency
Explanation
False — driving slowly does not make it safe. Reversing is forbidden on the motorway, and you only use the hard shoulder with your car in an emergency (Book p.72).
