As long as you’re a decent driver, the greatest danger on the road are the other drivers. It’s dangerous to assume they know how to drive, I mean. It’s never a bad idea to be as cautious as possible, and one of the first steps is making sure everyone can see you, whether you’re moving or on the side of the road.

The Emergency Traffic Cone makes you very easy to see. It’s got the two standard reflective yellow bands, but it takes visibility further by adding a flashing red LED light (you’re going to need batteries for that however) and it’s inflatable. What this means is that you’ll be able to just leave it sitting in your trunk until you need it, and only then inflate it with the built-in hand pump.

I say it’s a very good idea to have one of these in your car, just in case. You don’t want to be one of those “but it couldn’t happen to me!” people, do you?
