BREAKING DOWN

It is highly recommended that you belong to one of the major breakdown associations before attempting to drive on motorways.You should have full recovery membership.This will guarantee that your car will be towed free of charge and you and passengers to where you live,regardless of distance.This kind of cover will not take effect until after 48 hours of paying for it.If you breakdown with only basic membership cover you will be towed from the motorway to the nearest garage and be left to fend for yourself.You will then have to return at a later date to collect your car bit of a problem if you live 300 miles away.If you have no cover at all you will be removed from the motorway and will get a big bill from the company who towed you off.Again this will be normally to the nearest garage and make your own way home.Where there are road works you will often see free recovery.This is there to unblock congestion.Again you will only be taken to the nearest garage and then you fend for yourself,with no fee to pay. The vehicle broken down if possible should have moved over to the left more.No sterps to warn other drivers have been taken ie hazard lights if working,or warning triangles 150 metres apart back and front of the car if carried.
It is recommended that you and your passengers should leave the car if it has broken down for safety reasons.The weather conditions and time of day will also determine if you get out or stay in the car.The lady has used the emergency phone and is now waiting for assistance               
The broken down car is being loaded onto a recovery vehicle.When loaded the car and passenger will be taken to a pre arranged destination.
 

 

 

motorways

Should your car manage to be restarted,you should build up your speed driving along the hard shoulder and then join the carriageway when safe to do so.Signal your intentions to alert other traffic  far behind you that you are joining the main carriageway
