Accident Recovery at the M45's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M45 where we are called out most often, and where we keep accident recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 1 (Dunchurch roundabout / A45 connection), the transition from motorway to roundabout catches drivers at speed; the low-lying position creates a frost pocket in winter where ice forms before other sections; HGVs using the M45 as an M6 shortcut sometimes misjudge the roundabout approach

Junction 2 (M1 Junction 17 interchange), vehicles accelerating hard to merge onto the busy M1 from the quiet M45 can over-stress engines and transmissions; the sudden speed increase from M45 pace to M1 motorway flow is more demanding than drivers expect

Central section (no services, low gritting priority), fuel starvation from drivers who mistook the M45 for a longer route with facilities; winter ice on the ungritited surface causes loss-of-control incidents; the road's emptiness means stranded drivers may wait longer for assistance
