At night you are walking warning triangles out behind your stopped truck. How should you carry each triangle as you walk?
- A.In front of your body with the reflective side facing approaching traffic, so drivers can see you and the device
- B.Down at your side with the reflective side facing the ditch
- C.Over your shoulder, folded, until you reach the exact spot
- D.Behind your back so your body blocks it from headlights
Correct answer
A. In front of your body with the reflective side facing approaching traffic, so drivers can see you and the device
Why
Carrying the triangle in front of you with the reflective face toward traffic turns you into a visible, marked figure instead of a dark shape in the roadway. It also gets warning protection working for the traffic approaching you while you are still walking the devices out.
