Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a dual carriageway through the outskirts of a town; the right edge of the roadway is marked by a solid line, beyond which there is a shoulder, and on the right there are signs A-29 "traffic lights" and B-33 "70". You are not allowed to stop on the shoulder, even if you need a rest. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping a vehicle on the roadway and on the shoulder next to a solid line marking the edge of the roadway; the Regulation on road signs and signals states that the solid edge line P-7b marks the edge of the roadway and means that the driver of a motor vehicle must not drive onto the shoulder. Stopping is allowed only where the vehicle can be seen from a sufficient distance and does not create a danger or obstruct traffic - on a fast dual-carriageway main road with a limit of 70 km/h, a car stopped on a narrow shoulder right next to the lane is such a danger. Tiredness is of course a reason to take a break, but not in this place: you drive to the nearest car park, petrol station or side street where stopping is allowed. If a breakdown brings the vehicle to a standstill, you show that it is stationary with the hazard warning lights and remove it from the road as quickly as possible.
