LED warning triangles- inexpensive.....

[Silvertwinkie]

I came across these last week and picked up a few. They were not much more expensive than the non-led lit ones, so I bit and gave it a shot since you never know when you need something on the highway until you need something on the highway.

These are clearly not the Rolls Royce of flashing triangles (of course, made in China....sigh), but I figure every edge counts when on the side of the road. The come with a plastic storage tote when not in use. They fold up and tuck away nicely.

That link is bad.
There's a wide selection of triangles at 'amazon'
But I'm partial to these for road safety: Amazon.com: Orion Safety Prod. 3153-08 Safety PlasTcap Flare: Automotive

Hmmm. The link works for me...

Link is good but that product is sold out. That post is over a year old.

I carry three reflective plastic triangles and a set of flares. I hope to never use them....

I've had a few roadside tire, er.. "incidents", and having some type of high-visibility warning is a must have, when you're off on the shoulder... it's amazing how many people treat edge of pavement- not the painted lines- as right-of-way

Sadly, on a similar note
Recently, two young men (one HS senior, and one recent graduate), from my neighborhood, were killed on I-94, crashing into the rear of a stopped tractor-trailer. I hate to speculate on something so tragic (with so many factors); suffice to say, it's prudent to have signals or flares ready, when travelling.
