Many of the rules on what to do if you break down in the UK will apply in Europe. For example, you will need to pull over to the side of the road and switch on your hazard warning lights. However, there may be some extra rules you need to be aware of. In certain European countries, it is a legal requirement to carry and put out a red warning triangle and/or wear a reflective jacket when you break down, so you should check the rules for the country you’ll be driving in.
Certain roads will also have their own rules. For example, in France, you will need to use the emergency telephone if you break down on certain roads, rather than calling your breakdown provider.
