If it's an emergency, call 999 first

If anyone is injured, if your vehicle is in a live traffic lane, or if there is any immediate danger, contact the emergency services before anything else. Your safety comes first.

If you've broken down or had an incident

  • Get yourself and passengers to a safe place, away from moving traffic where possible.
  • Switch on hazard lights and, if you have one and it's safe, place a warning triangle well behind the vehicle.
  • Wear a hi-vis vest if you have one, especially at night or in poor weather.
