LETTER: Six hours waiting on motorway for a tow

ON Sunday , March 20 at 2.30am I broke down on the Ipswich Motorway at around 2.30pm.

I contacted my breakdown service, but they said they couldn't help because I was on the motorway and this was a "priority dangerous situation location" and as such I had to contact the motorway tow group.

They couldn't be reached until I had made four calls.

When they did turn up it was 8.30pm, yes six hours later.

The question I want answered is does this tow truck company have an exclusive motorway contract and that stops everyone else?

It was just an ordinary tow truck that eventually arrived.

DYMPNA DEARLOVE Ipswich
