If its a breakdown then how did they drop the trailer (presumably so someone else can pull it)?
Just use the new unit to tow the other one out the way.
I wish you luck with the phone 101 malarkey.I have tried to contact the police on a few occasions and could not get through.

No offence,Kate, but did you stop and ask the driver if he needed water or food, the UK sends supplies and money to Nepal earthquake victims, but does not care about a stranded driver in a foreign country.
What if he has run out of medicine ?Or is ill on the bunk.
He could wiped out by a lorry crashing in to him and should be in a hotel or safe place.
Probably because at the exact moment you stop to help a jobsworth copper will turn up and you will get a ticket for stopping on the hard shoulder

I remember years ago (10 maybe) on the M4 near jct 10 a Turboliner with a front nearside blowout, 4 days it was sat there, the chap had managed to remove the old one himself but didn’t seem to be able to fit a new one or whether he even had a new one. Can’t remember what country it was from but possibly EE
