Section 11.5 - Stopping and parking

You may only stop or park on the motorway when:

• your car breaks down,
• a Garda signals you to do so,
• there is an emergency (such as a crash),
• there are road works, or
• you are at a toll plaza.

Before you begin a long motorway journey, make sure your vehicle:

• is fit to carry out a long journey at motorway speeds,
• has the correct tyre pressure,
• has enough oil and coolant, and
• has enough fuel to at least take you to the next petrol station.

Also make sure that any loads carried or towed are secure and that you have enough money or a suitable pass if you are using a tolled motorway.
