🚨 Broke Down on the M25? Here's What to Do Right Now
If you're stranded on the M25, follow these five steps to stay safe while we're on our way to you.

Steer to the hard shoulder or leftmost lane as safely as possible. Switch on hazard lights immediately.
Exit Safely
Leave via the passenger door and stand behind the barrier or on the embankment, well away from live traffic.
