I think it has, having seen two broken down cars in the last week or so.
The stranded driver of an MX5 on the A1(M) north of Newcastle had left the boot open, and placed a warning triangle a good few yards behind the car.
He had hopped over the barrier and was sheltering several yards away from the carriageway behind a road sign.
Same road, different county.
The driver of a people carrier in North Yorkshire had also left the tailgate open, and hopped over the barrier with his family.
They were wearing high-vis jackets, I think he even had them for his two children.
Both drivers' behaviour could be described as exemplary, as far as I understand what you're supposed to do.
I think the majority of drivers follow the guidelines, but I'm only on the motorway a couple of times a week so don't see that many broken down cars.
What do you think?
