You are driving on the motorway and have missed the exit. What is the right course of action?

I continue driving and leave the motorway at one of the next exits

I reverse back on the hard shoulder, because the exit is less than 100 m behind me

I stop on the hard shoulder to plan my subsequent route

Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation

You answered correctly by choosing to continue driving and leave the motorway at one of the next exits. On German motorways, it is strictly forbidden to reverse or stop on the hard shoulder except in emergencies. Missing an exit is not considered an emergency. You should always proceed to the next available exit and use legal, safe routes to get back on track. This ensures your safety and the safety of other road users. Remember: never reverse or turn around on the motorway or its hard shoulder.
