Take the same position as they advise you on an airplane and pray - not that praying helps one jotWhat do you do when you break down on a dual carriageway ?

If I personally broke down on a smart motorway, I'd be half tempted to look in the mirror and put my brakes on so the car behind crashed into me at a controlled pace so I've got protection.
I would guess with that comment you live in an area were public transport is excellent. For the vast majority of people, travel is not a luxury.Road tax is too cheap, it should be ramped up. Outside of logistics and business it should start at £5k and rise accordingly. Most of the traffic in inner cities and B roads are people who are too lazy to get public transport and run bangers. They're the cause of most issues. Price them off the roads and it's a game changer.
I’ve read some absolute garbage on here. But this wins by a long way. I you genuinely think this. Please do the rest of us a favor and hand your license back.These will be scrapped in a few years, the best thing the average person can do is make sure your car is fairly new, serviced and reliable. Don't take a risk with tyres, always buy the best.

At least he has proven that some of the drivers on motorways don’t know how to drive on them ? either that or he is a WUM and got the response he was after.Have you

What if he swerves and causes a multi car pile up.?These will be scrapped in a few years, the best thing the average person can do is make sure your car is fairly new, serviced and reliable. Don't take a risk with tyres, always buy the best.

Two wrongs don't make a right and dual carriageways don't tend to have the same volume of heavy goods vehicles. The point with smart motorways is they did have a hard shoulder which has been removed.
He wants protection, so the family that rear ends him gets wiped out by a lorry driver watching YouTube on his phone rather than him!!Seriously one of the strangest things I have read on here.
I’m still clinging on to the hope it’s a wind up.
I don’t think most of us would have the reactions to do something like that.A quick glance at the law relating to dangerous driving and, heaven forbid, causing death by dangerous driving, and he might take a slightly different view. I’m still clinging on to the hope it’s a wind up.

It’s putting everyone at risk and if proved should be an offence.
I think he should be arrested now, better that than wait for him to actually commit the crime. Bit like the film Minority ReportIf you look at the definition of dangerous driving, deliberately causing a collision on a motorway more than ticks the boxes.

What does that statement mean? Are you saying non-motorway roads are busier than motorways because traffic need to get to the motorway? Strange logic.How do the HGVs get to the motorways?

My point was that it's not acceptable not to provide a safe place for vehicles too pull off a carrageway where the permitted speeds are fast. Just because this may be the case on a dual carriageway isn't a defence for there being no hard shoulder on a motorway. Does anyone actually think it's safe to pull up on the inside lane on a motorway with no hard shoulder, really!How do the HGVs get to the motorways?
