M40 Motorway Breakdown Safety Guidelines

If you break down on the M40, please follow this sequence:

Pull as far left as possible — ideally onto the hard shoulder or into an Emergency Refuge Area (ERA).
Switch on your hazard warning lights immediately.
Exit via the passenger door, away from traffic, and stand behind the crash barrier.
Do not attempt repairs on the hard shoulder — this is extremely dangerous.
Call 07365 801219 and quote your nearest marker post (small blue signs every 100 metres).
On smart motorway sections, use the nearest SOS phone if the lane is closed or live traffic is passing.
