Stay safe while you wait

  • If you can drive the vehicle, move it somewhere safe, away from traffic.
  • Switch your hazard lights on.
  • Get yourself and your passengers out of the vehicle and well away from the road. On a motorway or dual carriageway, wait behind the barrier if it’s safe to do so.
  • If you or anyone else is in danger, call 999 first.
