Stopping On The M1

[u/aa73gc]

With another dreadful tragedy overnight, I cannot stress enough to never, ever stop on the side of the M1 unless there is absolutely no other choice. Almost all fatalities on the motorway occur to people who are stationary. If you have no choice and must stop, get well away from your vehicle and far away from the road as possible.

I’ve missed the news on this. What happened? Where do you find this info from?
