Safety comes first

Broken Down or Involved in an Accident?

A motorway breakdown or accident can be stressful, particularly when traffic is moving at high speed around you.

If your vehicle has stopped, been damaged or cannot safely continue, your safety should come first.

Once you are in a safe position, contact us with your location, vehicle details and what has happened so we can assess the recovery requirements.

Where it is safe to do so:
  • 1
    Move your vehicle to a safe place away from moving traffic
  • 2
    Switch on your hazard warning lights
  • 3
    Leave the vehicle using the safest available route where appropriate
  • 4
    Move to a place of safety away from the carriageway
  • 5
    Contact the relevant emergency services if you are in immediate danger

Specific situations

Every Recovery Is Different

Smart Motorways & Live-Lane Breakdowns or Accidents

If your vehicle has stopped in a live lane or another dangerous position following a breakdown or accident, contact the emergency services immediately if you are in immediate danger.

Do not put yourself at risk trying to move or inspect your vehicle.

Once you are in a safe position, provide us with your exact location and circumstances. We’ll assess whether the recovery can be carried out safely and what equipment may be required.

Flat Battery or Vehicle Won’t Start?

If your vehicle has stopped because of a flat or discharged battery, we may be able to provide a jump-start service where it is safe and appropriate to do so.

If the vehicle cannot be restarted or a jump start isn’t suitable, we can arrange recovery to your chosen destination.
