    the best one I ever saw used all three, placed at 10 feet 100 feet and 200 feet...the 200 foot one was just right of the white line the 100 foot one was right in the middle where it belong...the the closest one was 10 feet away, directly behind the right turn signal


    I probably wouldn't be laughing if I had encountered that pattern on a foggy night...

    Rolling across OH on 30 a few days ago; notice a big truck on the other side broke down. He had his triangles placed by the book....if he were on a two lane.

    I think one mistake WE are making here is WE assume that all truck drivers can read, that may not be true. But I know for sure that out of those that can read, their percentage of reading comprehension is far far below 100% for far far too many.
