1. Warning triangle

A warning triangle is a portable reflective device used to warn approaching drivers of a hazard or stopped vehicle ahead, such as a breakdown or accident. It is placed on the road at a safe distance to increase visibility and prevent collisions.

  • Place the triangle behind your vehicle (in the direction of traffic).
  • On normal roads: about 30 meters away.
  • On high-speed roads: about 100 meters or more.
  • Ensure it is clearly visible to approaching traffic.
  • Place the triangle as soon as safely possible and turn on hazard lights.
  • Stay in a safe location (e.g. behind a barrier if available).
