    In darkness, if the car drop anchor

    Hate when that happens.

  • Insure my safety.
    Good advice!

      Ensure?

        Unsure?

        • For sure.

          Nothing at all will ensure your safety - least of all a small piece of reflective plastic likely to blow away in the wind - if a drunk/drugged-up/inattentive/overtired driver veers into your breakdown lane.

          • @[Deactivated]: What do you think the point of the warning triangle is? And if the driver in your example hits the warning triangle and this gives him enough time to brake or steer away from the car?

            Even some countries in Africa have mandatory requirements for warning triangles and first aid kits but not here in Australia!

            • @Maverick-au: I don't know what the point of the triangles is because they're basically point-less, with very few exceptions. Unless you have done first aid courses a first aid kit is going to be of little use anywhere, moreso in a motor vehicle accident. I could expand on the pros and cons of amateurs assisting with "first aid" but it would take half a page. In most cases a working phone will help FAR more. Dial 000

                @[Deactivated]: If you don't know what the point of warning triangle is you're beyond help.

                You probably don't know as well that other countries train their drivers properly including use of warning triangles, first aid kits etc.

                000 is a great help when the nearest ambulance is 30+ minutes away. You'll feel real great when someone dies because you don't have a first aid kit. BTW 000 will talk you through helping as well.

                • @Maverick-au: Your naivety is worrying to say the least, your hyperbole is simply ridiculous. There is nothing in most first aid kits which will help save a life in a motoring accident, particularly if you don't know what you're doing. Bandages might slow blood flow a nasty cut but a shirt or a hand will do the same. You don't need a first aid kit to do CPR - which is what is required in most serious cases until professional help arrives. Sticking a few trinkets in your car isn't going to make even a tiny difference in 99.999999999999% of cases but if it makes you feel good buy a stack and hand them out to all the break-downs you see as you drive around.

  • dennis will be going gaagaa :-)

    law in eu to have this and a hi-vis jacket

    Also works as a great Xmas decoration on the cheap.

    • Lose the Xmas tree and use one of these. Bundle up the pressies and perch this on top. Voila.

  • Watch out!

        That's a 2 pack though. Edit: Seems by 2 they mean it comes in 2 pieces and you put it together to make one. Doh!

  • OP this …

    AU $4.79 Free Shipping

    … is not that.

    $15.99 - code ESYIPNAY = $4.79 + $7.99 Delivery = $12.78

  • It's tiny… 23cm high. Better than nothing I suppose.

    Edit.

    The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase.

    • It's tiny… 23cm high. Better than nothing I suppose.

      No it's not, it's a POS that will not do the job. It's got ZERO approvals and it's utterly pointless. It won't stay upright, has poor quality reflectors and is useless.

  • code doesn't work

  • Just use hazard lights???

    • That's great but why do you think the EU has a lower road toll? Mandatory warning triangles, vests and first aid kits in most countries perhaps? Putting out a warning triangle gives approaching vehicles warning, hazard lights are pointless if they can't be seen until it's too late or you have a flat battery.

      • Rather a long bow perhaps? Any idea of the approximate number of uses of the items you mention? I'd "hazard" a guess that it's under 0.00000001% of all trips so if they're lowering the road toll then they're doing it via black magic.

        • This is part of the reason for a lower road toll. At least 5 people a year were killed on the hard shoulder between 2000 and 2010, many of these could have been prevented if a warning triangle was used. There were many more injuries.

          Combined with proper training most of these lives could have been saved.

          If you don't think education and tools that make you better seen on the side of the road make a difference there isn't much that can be said.

          • @Maverick-au: Talking through your, er, hat AND creating a straw man in the one comment. Good job. It's obvious that education and regular reminders about road safety are important. I've never suggested otherwise. So are proper road design, speed limits and motoring laws, and better cars for that matter.

            There is however no evidence whatsoever that your trinkets would have made a difference in any of the cases you found via google. If a driver is so blind that he/she can't see a vehicle stopped beside the road with people moving around outside it and slow down or move away he/she is unlikely to have noticed a little bit of plastic 150m up the road. In the Mittagong case a few years ago involving an NRMA tow truck even being on the shoulder of a long straight section of road in the middle of a day with perfect visibility made no difference. The driver responsible didn't see the tow truck yet you think he would have seen a 40cm triangle up the road? Hilarious. Here's one report from that horrific case. Might help you understand what you're dealing with in everyday motoring: https://www.habitatadvocate.com.au/?tag=nrma-roadside-assist…

            If anything it's arguable that blind faith - like yours - in a small triangle (and/or a grossly inadequate first aid kit which people don't know how to use) might make a driver changing a tyre beside a road (for example) over-confident and careless. Common sense, awareness, and a huge respect for the incompetence and inattentiveness of many road users are far more useful tools in a motorist's kit bag. Unfortunately those things are a lot harder to acquire, and maintain, than a few online trinkets.

  • These are shit, you want to get one of the EU approved ones. Volkswagen, BMW or Mercedes all sell top quality warning triangles that are actually useful.

    You may as well throw yourself into the traffic instead of putting one of these triangles out as they are utterly useless.

    This is why this style of triangle is utter rubbish - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzqICCBS7IA

    • The triangle survived though?

      • +1

        This type of triangle being sold can't pass that test, it's two pieces of plastic and will blow over in even the slightest of wind.

        The one in the test has metal legs like all the EU approved ones that are supplied by the European car manufacturers with their vehicles.

    If I brake down I prefer to light a Flare….you know,one of those big f*****s that the soccer hoons like to use…..

    • Illegal in Australia. Like all fun things.
