Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

AVehicles must not park on the motorway

and if they have to stop they must be driven on the grass verge or hard shoulder only for as long as is necessitated by the special circumstances involved. This could include mechanical breakdown, accident, illness, etc., or to enable help to be given to others. But such special circumstances would not include parking for the purpose of allowing the driver to rest.
