Your car gets a puncture while you’re driving on the motorway. What should you do when you’ve stopped on the hard shoulder?

Explanation: Park as far to the left as you can and leave the vehicle by the nearside door. Don't attempt even simple repairs. Instead, walk to an emergency telephone on your side of the road and phone for help. While waiting for help to arrive, stay by your car, keeping well away from the carriageway and hard shoulder.
