Is it legal to pass on the shoulder of the road?

  1. Yes, if traffic is slow

  2. No

  3. Only during rush hours

  4. Yes, if the lane is free

The correct answer is: No

Passing on the shoulder of the road is not legal. The shoulder is intended for emergency stopping or as a breakdown lane, not for passing other vehicles. Passing on the shoulder can be extremely dangerous as it puts both the passing driver and any pedestrians or cyclists that may be using the shoulder at risk. It is important to always follow traffic laws and regulations to ensure the safety of everyone on the road.
