Explanation
Driving on the shoulder is not allowed except in specific situations such as when a traffic officer directs you to do so. The shoulder is primarily for emergency stopping, breakdowns, or to allow other vehicles to pass in certain conditions (such as allowing emergency vehicles through). It is illegal to use the shoulder to bypass traffic or to pass another vehicle, regardless of traffic intensity.
