Vehicle ControlDifficulty: 1/5
Your car breaks down in the middle lane of a smart motorway and you cannot reach an emergency area or the hard shoulder. What should you do first?
Explanation
The Highway Code Rule 277 states that if you break down in a live motorway lane and cannot reach the hard shoulder or an emergency area, you should switch on your hazard warning lights immediately to warn other drivers. You should usually stay in the vehicle with your seat belt on if it is safer than getting out, and then contact emergency services or your breakdown provider. You must not attempt to push the vehicle across live lanes or stand in front of it.
