Common Breakdowns on the A14 (We See These Every Week)

50mph average speed cameras in roadworks – cars overheat at constant low speed. We'll try to fix it roadside or recover.

Parked at Rothwell or Kettering services with lights left on? We carry jump packs and replacement batteries.

Between J3 (Crick) and J7 (Kettering) the signal drops. We know these spots. Call us from a mile marker.

Some sections of the A14 (especially near Kettering and Rothwell) have no continuous hard shoulder. Only emergency refuge areas every 1.5 miles.
If you break down on these sections:
- If you can reach an emergency refuge area: Pull in. Call Nick. Stay in your car with seatbelt on. Use the SOS phone if you have no mobile signal.
- If you cannot reach a refuge area: Hazard lights on. Call 999 (Highways England) first, then call Nick.
- Do not get out of the car unless you are in danger and can safely reach behind the barrier.
We are NOT emergency services. We cannot close lanes. We recover your vehicle once it's safe. Highways England may need to attend first on smart motorway sections.
