As a general rule, it is forbidden to drive on the hard shoulder of a motorway, as well as to stop and park on it.
Exceptionally, when driving for reasons of emergency or breakdown, at an abnormally reduced speed and disturbing traffic, it will be permitted, although they must leave the road at the first exit they find. (The MAM of the vehicle must not exceed 3,500 kg).
