In an Emergency

IMPORTANT
Remember the breakdown safety code
If a breakdown occurs while travelling:
• Wherever possible, consistent with road safety and
traffic conditions, the car should be moved off the
main thoroughfare, preferably into a lay-by. If a
breakdown occurs on a motorway, pull well over to
the inside of the hard shoulder.
• Switch on hazard lights.
• If available, position a warning triangle or a flashing
amber light 50 to 150 metres (150 to 500 ft) behind
your vehicle to warn approaching traffic. Note it is a
legal requirement of some countries that a warning
triangle is carried in the vehicle, if in doubt consult
the local highways agency for further information.
• Consider evacuating passengers through nearside
doors onto the verge to reduce risk of injury in the
event of collision.
