Broken down on the M6? Stay safe first
Before anything else: get yourself and your passengers safe, then call us. Never try to repair a vehicle on the hard shoulder.
1. Hazards on, move left
Switch your hazard lights on and pull onto the hard shoulder or into the nearest emergency area as far left as you can.
2. Get out on the left
Everyone out through the left-hand doors, away from traffic. If you can, get behind the barrier.
3. Call 0800 099 6565
Tell us your junction number and direction of travel. We'll agree a price on the phone, then dispatch the nearest truck.
4. Wait behind the barrier
Stay behind the barrier until the operator arrives. Don't stand between your vehicle and the traffic.
