The emergency triangle should be placed a safe distance away from your vehicle, typically about 50 meters on a straight road and 100 meters on a curve.
In low visibility conditions such as fog or heavy rain, the effectiveness of an emergency triangle can be enhanced by turning on your hazard lights as well.
Remember to retrieve the emergency triangle when you leave so that it doesn't pose a hazard to other road users.
It's important to place the emergency triangle on the side of the road where it can be easily seen by drivers approaching from behind.
When your car breaks down on the highway, it's crucial to set up an emergency triangle behind it to alert approaching drivers.
