The 75 and ZT Owners Club Forums - View Single Post - Coroner calls for review of Smart Motorways

I also have broken down on a smart motorway back in 2019. I have never been so frightened in my life. Hazards on but not able to re-start the car, Banana being the car. I finally managed to get out and over the barrier. Phoned the police and recovery. The Traffic Enforcement Agency were the first to arrive. The parked at an angle about 50 yards back. The passenger got out to make sure I was ok. He calmed me down and gave me a bottle of water to drink.

Then the police arrived and proceeded to block of the next lane across. Finally a recovery vehicle got to me and we was winched on board.
The amount of abuse the TEA and Police officers got from passing motorists was unbelievable. But they said it was the norm.
