What should you do if you breakdown on a motorway but couldn’t reach the hard shoulder in time?

Explanation: A situation may arise where you breakdown on a motorway and can't reach the hard shoulder. If this happens, warn other drivers by turning on your hazard warning lights. Only leave your vehicle when you can get safely off the carriageway, and don't attempt any repairs. You should not try to place warning devices (e.g. a warning triangle) either.
