Blast from the Past…

There is a classic video on YouTube about the use of the hard shoulder. Click here to view the video.

It may look like something from a Jeremy Beadle sketch but there are no gags in this video. Although times have changed… the key message has stayed the same ‘HARD SHOULDERS SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN AN EMERGENCY’. They are NOT for casual stops, to read a map, or for a toilet break (no matter how desperate you are!).

If an emergency forces you to stop on the hard shoulder please follow the top tips given in the Safety Information section of this website.

Getting it wrong could cost you your life!
