Safety Road Flares - Do you carry them?

Folding triangles are an acceptable replacement.

 

Triangles OR flares are mandatory. Most people don't set triangles up properly so you don't see them until you almost run over them anyway

 

No flares for me........

 

Nope. Have not worried about them near 30 years now.

Ive lit a few in my time. More trouble than they are worth, particularly with hazmat loads etc.

Any time truck has a problem it's triangles. And you can plan on getting a replacement set after it's all over. Because the freeway winds destroy the set in a hour even when text book deployed.

 

I used to then I went to these red led road flares with her a whole lot more safer

 

Saw a couple in an antique store the other day,,,may as well carry "flare pots" with you

 

Yep, like to use them when hauling explosives

 

I carry a few. I only use the triangles though I’ll use the flares too if maybe there’s a serious wreck and it’s night it’ll call more attention. But for a standard non serious breakdown I’ll stick with the triangles.
