REGULATIONS which will allow drivers to use traffic cones, warning lamps, traffic pyramids and warning triangles in the event of a vehicle breakdown came into force on April 24.
The new regulations allow drivers to use three new safety devices together with conventional warning triangles, to give visual protection to a vehicle and its occupants until help arrives.
When the vehicle is fitted with hazard flashing indicators these should be operated but the new devices should add to the safety factor, particularly when an electrical failure occurs.
None will be compulsory and the driver will be able to decided which device is likely to offer the greatest degree of protection — and advance warning to other drivers.
