That little girl knowing to put the hazards on, love that

[Donice]

And this is why we need the hard shoulder.

[MITUK]

Child is somehow the most calm and collected person in thagt vehicle 🙄

[sazruby]

This is the reason I absolutely hate smart motorway’s or motorways that have constantly got road works, you break down and your life is at the mercy of other road users, even worse when kids are with you

[harrywiseman]

Don’t be panicking your child, always let them know as parent that you’re a calming presence in moments like these for them.

[yy]

BAN smart motorways! This is exactly why we need the hard shoulder!

[Notaffiliated]

Learn how to stay calm and collected around your children. Panicking only makes them not trust you.

That girl is a very observant calm clever girl, mum could learn a lot, must have been very scary im nit judging

[ive]

That poor little girl man, the stress her mum filtered onto her 😂

[Isaidwhatisaiddear]

That mother needs to learn how to control her emotions in front of her kid instead of saying “I’m going to cause a pile up” 🤦🏾‍♀️

[jamesburrell]

This is the most panicked I've ever seen anyone with a blown tyre

[abeliever]

Same thing happened me, and 2 kind men pulled over and changed my tyre. They even waited until i was safely onto the motorway. It is very frightening when your tyre blows. You have my heartfelt sympathies.😊

[Carsforlife_]

She would be the worst person to be around in a high stress environment

[Slim_]

Wonderful awareness of her daughter “put your hazards on”!! So calm throughout!

[cloudycoco]

In situations like these, don’t panic your kids, if you show panic they’ll panic even more, try calm yourself and don’t transfer that stress onto the kids, it’s the last thing they need when their calming figure is panicking

[Jackjack]

Oh look, smart motorways doing smart things like leaving people stranded in the middle of a motorway lane. 👀

[snobglarbthegreat]

Easier said than done i know but best thing you can do in this situation is stay calm and composed. Put your hazards so traffic are aware and pull over when safe. Panicking does nothing but stress you out especially if you have passengers and potentially cause danger to others.

[PlymouthLad]

Do not stop
Do not panic
Keep driving to a place of safety

[thegreat]

Was on a speed awareness course recently and our course instructor had the absolute nerve to try to tell me smart motorways are safe. Hmm I beg to differ.

[Blockplay]

The fact the child had more presence of mind to do the right things in the situation is embarrassing, the woman should be ashamed
