Safer Driving on England's Motorways
)
If you break down – go left!
That’s the message from Highways England in its biggest ever road safety campaign to help drivers feel safer on the country’s motorways.
Millions of journeys are made every day on the country’s busiest roads – motorways and major A-roads – and most are incident-free. But around 600 journeys a day involve a breakdown, and when you are on a busy motorway that can be frightening.
Do you feel confident that you would know how to stay as safe as possible if your vehicle broke down on the motorway?
We want you to stay safe and know what to do if your vehicle has a problem, or you get into trouble on a motorway. That’s why Highways England is partnering with Naidex to bring you the advice you need to help you feel safe and more in control of your journey.
