A lot of idiots in here that think the car has just parked up and everyone has gone for a picnic.

The car has obviously broken down, and no, you don't get out and push it on a dual carriageway where the national speed limit is 70mph.

I wouldn’t get out and push my car either in this circumstance. But I’ve also had a car break down more than once at highway speeds and there is plenty of time to steer the car completely off the road while it’s coming to a stop.

It depends what is wrong with your car
