M4 & M5 motorway recovery
Motorway breakdowns are the ones that need sorting fastest. I run the M4 and M5 corridors daily — M32, M48, M49 and the main A-roads included.
What to do while you wait
- 1
Get off the carriageway
Pull onto the hard shoulder or an emergency refuge area, as far left as you can.
- 2
Get out and behind the barrier
Leave via the passenger side, stand up the bank behind the barrier — never stay in the vehicle.
- 3
Hazards and lights on
Hazard lights on at all times; sidelights too if it's dark or raining.
- 4
Call 999 if you're in a live lane
Smart motorway with no hard shoulder, or you can't get off — call 999 first, then me.
- 5
Then call Green Recovery
Ring 07338 600719 with your junction number or marker post and I'll come to you.
