What To Do If You Break Down On The M18
If you break down on the M18, safety comes first.

Follow official National Highways breakdown advice.
When you are safe, send us your location. The best details are: M18 direction, junction number, nearest services, marker post if visible, what3words, live WhatsApp location, vehicle make and model, whether the car rolls, and where it needs to go.
- Tell us if you are northbound or southbound.
- Send the nearest junction or motorway service station.
- Send photos if there is accident damage or wheel damage.
- Tell us if passengers need to travel with the recovery truck.
- Tell us if the handbrake is stuck, keys are missing, or the car will not go into neutral.
Smart Motorway Lay-by Recovery Diagram
If your vehicle stops in a smart motorway emergency area or lay-by, try to leave enough clear space behind the vehicle for the recovery truck and ramps. A flatbed truck needs room to line up safely, lower the ramps and winch the vehicle on without blocking more space than needed.

Motorway Breakdown Safety Advice
If you break down on the M18, your safety is more important than the vehicle. Put your hazard lights on, move left or into an emergency refuge area if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the passenger side, keep everyone behind the safety barrier and away from traffic, and do not stand between your car and moving traffic. If there is danger, an accident, smoke, fire, injury, or you cannot get to a safe place, call 999 first. When you are safe, send your live location, M18 direction, junction number, vehicle details and drop-off postcode so the correct recovery truck can be arranged.
