I was driving round the M25 and there was an accident in front of me, I could still get round so I slowed down, put hazards on but drove past and carried on my way.

What’s the actual protocol in those situations? I could see all the airbags were deployed, there’s nothing I could do for the people inside and for sure getting out on a motorway is a bad idea.

But I feel like I should have done something different. Can anyone with knowledge enlighten me?

    That’s pretty clever. It all could have gone so much worse if you and them hadn’t been on your A game that day.

      If you’re driving any distance, and you’re not at your A game, you’re doing something very bad. Even a small car, going fast enough, is easily capable of reducing a person to meat paste. If I’m in charge of a larger vehicle, I’m treating it with the respect it deserves.
