A Safety Lesson Learned
DW and I were driving down the Interstate when the truck died and we had to coast over to the shoulder. I put on the emergency flashers and got out to see what the problem was and the whole time I was out, vehicles in the right hand lane were flying by at breakneck speeds. It was dangerous to say the least.
I recalled that we had one of those folding orange reflective
emergency triangles with us so DW walked back and set it up. The change in traffic was dramatic. Virtually all of the 18 wheelers, and most of the other traffic moved into the left lane before passing us.
I know truckers are required by law to carry and use these triangles, and I think RVers are too. But even if not, they are well worth having.
