Immediate Safety Steps When You Break Down on the A14

When your vehicle breaks down on a busy road like the A14, the first thing to remember is not to panic. Your immediate actions can significantly impact your safety.

• Pull Over Safely: If possible, steer your vehicle to the hard shoulder or a safe lay-by. Pull as far to the left as you can, ensuring you're well clear of the active carriageway.
• Hazard Lights On: Immediately switch on your hazard warning lights to alert other drivers to your presence.
• Exit the Vehicle Safely: Get all passengers out of the vehicle using the passenger-side door. Move everyone behind the crash barrier or up the verge, as far away from the road as possible.
