What would you do first? You are on Skype/ FaceTime to a friend in California. It is midday UK time and therefore 4AM Californian time. He calls you from his car as he is doing a nightshift and is on the way back from work, pulled over in a car park.

This happened in the county next to mine about forty five minutes away, on a mountain pass that has its own warning page in the commercial truck drivers manual.

Coming soon to the rear of a HATO wagon near you.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20851775 (On phone so cant copy the text from my news app) I forsee one of 2 things it'll either work but take time setting up thereby taking more time to clear an incident (unless HATOs just stand on scenes kicking their heels while the other services work, which I doubt) or You're going to get people craning their neck to see from either end of the screens as they drive past taking their eyes even further from the road.
