    ps: Two lane placing is safer anyway, LoL. Dangerous road.

    How is placing your third triangle in front of the truck safer when on a 4 lane divided highway?

    Two lane triangle placement on a four lane divided is not proper or legal. What possible purpose would a triangle in front of the truck serve?

    Opps two of us posting the the same thoughts at the same time.

    Working in a salvage yard I've come across many of those triangle kits and stashed every one in the garage I could find. And while they are all different ages, the most common characteristic is that they ALL have illustrated instructions for placement RIGHT ON THE STORAGE BOX. :biggrin_1square3:

    And yet I've almost never seen them placed properly . . . . :biggrin_1square1:

    Seen a knight driver over heated up donner with all 3 lined up but they started from the white line then they curved in towards the truck. Not much common sense was used that day. Seeing how he didn't care for the temp gauge or the triangles set up for his own safety
