May mopeds travel on the hard shoulder two abreast?

Vehicles required to travel on the hard shoulder (cycles, mopeds, animal-drawn vehicles, mobility-impaired vehicles, special vehicles with a MAM of up to 3,500 kg, and vehicles following cyclists) are prohibited from travelling in a parallel position, except for the following, which may travel two abreast: - Bicycles: keeping to the far right of the road and forming a single file on sections with limited visibility or when they form congestion. On dual carriageways they may not encroach on the carriageway. - Mopeds: without encroaching on the carriageway under any circumstances. Drivers of vehicles required to travel on the hard shoulder, except bicycles, are prohibited from overtaking if the duration of travelling in parallel exceeds 15 seconds or the distance exceeds 200 metres.
