Staying safe on the M1
Accidents can appear with little warning and conditions can change fast. If you come across an incident, keep your distance and follow any signs or lane closures. In an emergency always call 999, and never use a phone while driving — stop somewhere safe first. For live updates across the whole motorway see our Latest M1 Traffic News page.
