Cevap

Up on the grass embankment or behind the safety barrier, well clear of the carriageway
According to Highway Code Rule 274, all vehicle occupants should exit through the left-hand doors and wait behind the safety barrier, moving up the grass embankment if one is present. This ensures everyone is positioned well clear of the carriageway and hard shoulder.
