You are approaching a traffic jam on the motorway. What is the right course of action?

The correct action when approaching a traffic jam on the motorway is to carefully stop behind the last car in the queue. This follows the German traffic rule that you must not use the emergency corridor or the hard shoulder unless directed by authorities or in a true emergency. The emergency corridor must be kept clear for rescue vehicles, and driving on the hard shoulder is generally prohibited. By pulling up behind the last car, you help maintain order and safety on the motorway and comply with the law. Remember, entering the emergency corridor or using the hard shoulder without permission can result in fines and danger for everyone.
