Emergency Triangle Placement

Its already a task for drivers to put them up in a way they STAY up. I've seen some put up still in the folded position and in the hope they can keep the balance.

 

You got to give them a twist or they fall over,
Plus most drivers only put 2 of them out as they only gave 2 hands,

 

And one triangle per step.....

 

Bus driver in serious condition after hitting vehicle left overnight in 'middle of the lane' on highway

"A trucker who left a broken-down trailer on a Cape Breton highway was questioned by police Friday after it was hit by a school bus taking children to class, seriously injuring the bus driver and leaving numerous students with minor injuries.

Eleven high school students were on the bus when it came upon the trailer at 8:08 a.m. Friday as it approached the crest of Kelly's Mountain near Englishtown, N.S.

The trailer had been abandoned the previous night, said RCMP Const. Eric Latwaitis.

Trucker left few warning triangles

The driver, who is apparently from Cape Breton, seems to have left only two warning triangles behind the truck after it broke down the previous night, he said . . ."

Was that the issue, then?

 

The sun has been up for 2 hours. Bus driver is a Braindead and would have hit that trailer if 200 triangles were set out. But, because the driver is a slacker, and didn’t do this simple thing correctly, he will hang. Sucks to be him. Sucks to ride a school bus with a Braindead at the controls.

 

That trailer is directly in a driving lane. Why was it left there? I see no reason for it not being moved to a spot off the road. It looks like there’s a hill before coming up on the trailer. I assume the bus driver wasn’t paying attention until it was too late. Have three triangles wouldn’t have done much.

 

Pro Tip: There are placement instruction on the triangle box...

 

I always thought first one went on the left. Then the middle. The last on the right.

I don't remember the distance though.

 

I hate to say it even if there were 3 triangles perfectly out the correct distance that bus would have still plowed into that trailer. Sad part the driver was lazy on the triangles or he would have been given more slack I bet. The driver was doing something prob yelling at one the kids sit down or something. I would have never left that trailer there like that in that area bad tire or w/e I would have dragged its arse further but I check my tires short of running over a nail wouldn't be bad. Drivers think because the problem happens that sec to park immediately even on the very top a hill it's irritating but you can avoid them stop or slow down till you can get over. with all, that snow around the weather conditions sounds he may be going too fast for road conditions.
