Accident Recovery at the M66's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M66 where we are called out most often, and where we keep accident recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 1 Simister Island (M60/M62/M66 interchange), one of Manchester's most complex and congested junctions; the multiple motorway-to-motorway movements cause confusion, hesitation, and lane-change collisions; vehicles queuing at Simister from all directions overheat and suffer battery drain

Junctions 2-3 (Bury area), heavy commuter traffic between Bury and Manchester creates morning and evening peaks; the constrained valley corridor limits road capacity; stop-start conditions cause clutch wear and overheating

Northern terminus at Rawtenstall (A56 connection), the elevated section near the motorway's end is exposed to Pennine weather; ice forms here before lower sections; the transition to the A56 dual carriageway involves a speed change that catches drivers off guard
