Emergency Triangles and Their Importance

Tuesday, 28 April 2015



This is not a perfect world, so accidents happen every day and no matter how much time you have spent behind the wheel of your car, it can break down at any given moment. As the days pass and streets get more crammed up with traffic you can notice a definite increase in motor vehicle accidents. The overflowing repair shops are evidence of this. 

But that doesn’t stop you and your loved one from taking to the roads, does it? It just means that you take extra measures to keep your loved ones. This is the reason why you check your tires regularly, get our brakes checked and tell your loved ones to drive safe. 

In spite of all the safe keeping, when accidents happen or your cars break down, few things are required to be done. In case of accidents, the first and foremost thing to do is to ensure if you are injured and call for help. The very next thing to do if you are not injured badly is to call for help and get out of the car. It is advisable to grab the emergency kit from your glove compartment and exit your vehicle. In this kit there will be emergency warning triangles. You should set these warning triangles all around the crash site to make it visible to the passing traffic and hence avoiding any more damage which might be caused by the unseeing driver.

 On the other hand, if your car broke down in the middle of nowhere, then too it is a requirement to place the warning triangles all around your broken car at a distance of 6 meters away from the car and then call for help. 

Some warning triangles are collapsible and they come with a swivel leg. These come in boxes and are easily available online or in your nearest store. In some countries, it is mandatory to carry these warning triangles in your vehicle while travelling.

So, for your own safety, the safety of your loved ones and that of the people you pass by while on the road, carry your emergency kit with you and make sure you do not forget about these inexpensive emergency warning triangles while you are at it.
