Reddit - 3 friends and I have broken down on the busiest motorway in england, we have no breakdown cover, what do we do?

As the title states we are stuck. We were just driving back from a red hot chillis gig and now are stuck on the not quite hard shoulder of the m1 motorway at 12:30 at night. We are all 20 and have literally no idea what to do - whats the best course of action?
