Specialist Urban & Ring Road Recovery

M40 J8/8A & Oxford Breakdown Safety Guidelines

If you break down on the M40 J8/8A, Oxford Ring Road, or in Oxford city centre:

On M40 J8/J8A: coast to the hard shoulder or next emergency refuge area, exit via the passenger side, and stand behind the crash barrier.
On the Oxford Ring Road (A4142): pull over to the left-hand kerb or a layby — do not stop on roundabout approaches.
In Oxford city centre: be aware of bus gates, LEZ zones and one-way systems — call us first so we can plan the correct approach.
Switch on hazard warning lights immediately.
