[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2149610, member: 101136"] From what I know regarding emergency stopping a motorway (Hard shoulder.) for whatever reason.. It is advised to put on hazard warning lights, turn the steering away from the carriageway. (This is to enable the vehicle to leave the road in the event if it should get "rear ended" out of the way of other fast moving traffic.) wear high viz, (passengers too.) & more inportantly don't stay in or with the vehicle. (In the possible event of the aformentioned "rear ending" by another vehicle at speed?) You probably more than likely going to be aproached by "highway agency" patrol to offer appropriate assistance. In the event of a breakdown, they will check you have cover & recomend the service does it's job? Then check back later to assure all is well.. I had a blowout heading south on the M5 about 13 years ago.. They wouldn't even let me undertake changing the wheel.. :banghead: They were happy I took most of the other appropriate PP action at the time. [/QUOTE]
