Explanation
The shoulder of the road is intended for emergency stops or breakdowns, and using it to pass another vehicle is not only illegal but also dangerous. It can be uneven and unstable, making it difficult to control your vehicle. Moreover, other drivers may not expect you to pass on the shoulder and may not see you, leading to accidents.
