Flat on the Motorway: What to Do
- 01

- 02

We Come to the Hard Shoulder or Services
A fitter comes to you on the hard shoulder where it's safe, or meets you at the next services.
What to Do With a Flat Tyre on the Motorway
If a tyre goes on the motorway, signal left and move to the hard shoulder or an emergency area. Don't try to change the tyre yourself next to fast traffic.
Leave the car by the left-hand doors, get behind the barrier and call from there. Marker posts on the hard shoulder show your exact position, which helps us and the emergency services.
Hard Shoulder Safety
- Hazard lights on
- Exit by the left-hand doors
- Stand behind the barrier
- Never stand between the car and traffic
Smart Motorways
If there's no hard shoulder, use an emergency area. If you can't reach one and you're in a live lane, call 999.
Can You Fit on the Hard Shoulder?
We'll advise on the call. Where it isn't safe, we'll arrange to meet you somewhere that is.
