It's not nice being stopped on a motorway.
I was involved in a minor accident on the M25 at J11 last year. Everything anchored up, I stopped, car behind me didn't and neither did the one behind that. Turns out the other two vehicles involved were occupied by a group 17 year old girls who were travelling together, and were all hysterical. No hard shoulder at that point either. Cars were all driveable.
I was rescued by a Highways Agency patrolman who did a great job directing us round to a layby on the A3, and helping me deal with these teenage girls who were all blubbering wrecks.
Insurance all went through fine, and I got a nice text from the father of the driver to say he appreciated me being so nice about it all. It's metal at the end of the day. But standing by the side of a busy motorway is not a nice feeling. Especially with 7 very upset kids who have no idea what to do. I don't like having to be the adult in any situation, never mind one like this :)
