Stranded on the M40 Right Now?

If you've broken down on a live lane or hard shoulder, stay behind the safety barrier if you can. Move your vehicle off the carriageway if safe. Turn on hazard lights. If you cannot safely exit the vehicle, or you're on a section without a hard shoulder (smart motorway), call 999 first. Then call us immediately on 0786 328 1324. We prioritise live-lane and hard-shoulder incidents for rapid dispatch.
