Drivers hours and traffic problems

PFIZ69:
I can’t help but wonder what happens when a driver is up against time and needs to take rest but is stuck in traffic on a motorway with no service station in sight. This must happen every day but what is the correct directive to follow in these situations?

Carry on until a safe place to park up then make a couple of printouts to explain why drivers hours have been exceeded - the normal daily rest must still be taken
