Now apparently the guy had his kid in the passenger seat, now i know that he automatically has a duty of care to his son, but surely he would have been better off going for an alternative rather than a busy motorway?

Not knowing the conditions of the surrounding area, i can't really comment, but it should have been a last resort.

Good skills, anyway.

 

Good man....he even parked it on the hard shoulder!!
