Motorway-Trained Operators & Equipment

Operating on the M40 requires high-speed road safety awareness. Our drivers are trained in motorway extraction and use winch-equipped tilt-and-slide flatbeds with soft straps and wheel chocks — safe for low-clearance cars, EVs, motorbikes and heavier 4x4s.

M40 Motorway Breakdown Safety Guidelines

If you break down on the M40, please follow this sequence:

Pull as far left as possible — ideally onto the hard shoulder or into an Emergency Refuge Area (ERA).
Switch on your hazard warning lights immediately.
Exit via the passenger door, away from traffic, and stand behind the crash barrier.
Do not attempt repairs on the hard shoulder — this is extremely dangerous.
Call 07365 801219 and quote your nearest marker post (small blue signs every 100 metres).
For smart motorway sections, use the nearest SOS phone if the lane is closed or live traffic is passing.
