By stopping at this spot, has the driver of the truck complied with the existing regulations?

Description

Art. 9 para. 2 pt. 1

Explanation

Correct answer: No

In a traffic congestion situation with an emergency vehicle passing, the driver is obliged to facilitate its passage by creating a so-called rescue corridor. According to Art. 9 para. 2 pt. 1, a driver moving in the leftmost lane (in this case, the vehicle from which the video was recorded) is obliged to pull over to the left edge of the lane. The driver stopped in the middle of the lane instead of pulling close to the left barrier, which is incorrect behaviour.
