Warning Triangle

AKA: Hazard Marker, Hazard Triangle

Information

A folding reflective triangle that warns other road users of unusual or dangerous conditions, such as a crashed or non-starting vehicle.

Folded, the triangle is easily stored in a door, under a seat, or somewhere else in easy reach.

A warning triangle in use on the road.

To use, just unfold the triangle and extend the legs, then place at least 100 meters from the hazard, so that other road users have time to react to the warning before reaching the hazard. In some cases, visibility might be too low for such a long warning, in which case, just place it as far as possible from the hazard.

"Educational, Inspirational And Very Funny"

I've had the privilege of following Burtman.net, over the years, with all the exciting things it's been adding. I enjoy the stories while sipping endless cups of tea, as I've learned from Burtman. I love diving into his ridiculous scenarios and getting infected by his road trip religion. Everything's accessible and relatable (even technical stuff) and shows how making mistakes leads to learning. I'm inspired by that. I'm always left with a big smile on my face and I always want to return. - Natku
