Your vehicle has broken down on a motorway. What should you do if you aren’t able to get onto the hard shoulder?

Explanation: If you can't get your vehicle onto the hard shoulder, use your hazard warning lights to warn others. Leave your vehicle only when you can safely get clear of the carriageway. Don't try to repair the vehicle or attempt to place any warning device on the carriageway.
