Do you carry a safety triangle?

[Hotamp]

Batt operated. So many kuku drivers out there, maybe better to stay in the car and call AAS.

 

 

sad but true,...singapore roads are really congested and some drivers really have no respect for traffic conditions, if really have no safe spot to change a flat tire, i think it is safer to pay abit more and get help from AA. This type of incident where cars rammed into stationery vehicles have happened a few times in the past, no amount of flasing lights and triangles will stop a kuku driver when he is either drunk or careless.

My car dun have one, but I bought it second hand, maybe first owner took it with him.

 

Anyway I dun think the reflective triangle is of much use when break down in the day, so I bought a blinker from Autobac, something similar to those use by construction workers but operated by plugging into car cigarette lighter socket.

 

the thing with the need to use 12v cig socket is if your car breakdown coz of no batt, then the blinker is useless

simple solution? clip those batt operated bicycle blinking LED light to the safety triangle.

Wah looks like u swiped it from a Geitai performance.

I tried but the Getai blinker need 2 men to carry. Furthermore in the view of the big audience, better give up the idea.

How about this blinking light which we bought from Daiso.

Small size, smaller than an adult fist. Very bright LEDs blinking light with alternating red, blue and green.

From afar, the blue light of this blinker is stand out especially at night and would attract attention from other road users.

Not true. If you put the triangle some distance behind and some kuku bang it, got chance he will slow down and not plough into the car or people. On that note, put something prominent like red pail also can.

This is also got car can langa into i doubt a tiny triangle and pail can keep anyone save from kuku drivers .

[Pisces69]

Small never mind, brightness should be the key point.

 

But nonetheless, having these are still better than having none.

 

 

Ya I basically hv always carried the necessary safety equip although I hardly ever used it.

 

Always good to b prepared in case its needed.

 

I even used to carry a small fire extinguisher b4 but dumped it when it expired cos those small type cant do much in case of a real fire. I hv the big one at home in my kitchen but dun wan to put it in the car cos its a bit big, heavy n bulky n scared in case of an accident, it might b thrown forward n seriously injure someone.

I concur. I just renewed my membership.

Ya actually on those lonely roads n eways, it might b safer to just stay in the car n call AAS.

 

In SG u can easily call but at some ulu place in Msia, I doubt the mechanic n tow truck wil bother to look fr u till morning.

[Pisces69]

the thing with the need to use 12v cig socket is if your car breakdown coz of no batt, then the blinker is useless

 

 

Ya. There is another type of triangle with blinking leds that use a couple of penlight batteries. Maybe more practical.

[Pisces69]

if car breakdown coz batt flat, ciggy lighter no use.

 

simple solution? clip those batt operated bicycle blinking LED light to the safety triangle.

 

 

Ya . Another good idea.

[Pisces69]

Hahaha. So u actually tried.

 

But seriously that blinker looks like a good thing to hv in the car. Only how lasting n reliable is it? If its made in China, Prob after a year u try to use n it wun work.

Actually the blue n red flashing lights look like a police stop.

 

U can attach it to yr dash n Im sure those road hoggers wil immediately move to the side. Hahaha.

Uncle drive Volvo which is supposed to b one of the safest cars around. Too bad the uncle is totally not safe.

[Pisces69]

I got one of those LED light in the car that can display different kinds of emergency signals .. batteries lasted >8 years, still going strong.

 

 

U mean those running lights u display behind like those police escort cars? Can give message to vehicles behind type?

 

Where u buy N how much?
