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

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.
