My mistake. I thought it would fall under StVO ยง 18.8, which forbids stopping on highways except in specific situations. That has a max penalty of a loss of license and jail time.

In lots of places in America a person can chance it and run out of fuel at peak of rush hour in the middle of the freeway there's nothing done more than calling a tow truck to get that person off the road.
