What should you do if you breakdown

• Try to pull off the road and park in a safe place
• Put your hazard warning lights on
• Put a warning triangle on the road at least 45 metres behind your broken down vehicle. However, don't use a warning triangle on the motorway
• Keep your sidelights on if it is dark or visibility is poor
• Lock the doors and call for help from mobile or from a payphone

What should you do if you breakdown on motorway

• Try and stop near one of the motorway emergency phones pulling onto the hard shoulder as far from the inside lane as possible
• Switch on your hazard warning lights
• Get out of the car on the passenger side and walk to the emergency phone on your side of the motorway. These phones are free and connect directly to the police who will be able to locate you so its better to use them than a mobile
• Face oncoming traffic when you phone so you can see if a car is likely to hit you
• If you are travelling alone or feel at risk wait inside your car with the doors locked
