The break down was just after a bend and could not be seen until the last minute, not giving drivers doing 70 much time to stop in!!
So after almost experiancing an accident there myself, I know that if there were veichales in the over taking lane then there was a high chance of an accident!! I guess the lady owner of the AM is lucky it wasn't a wagon!!

You were not there!!! Do not judge!!!
It was just unlucky, and a shame that the AM could not have gone that little bit further into the layby, or even pulled onto the grass verge!!
