Just something that I'd like to add since road safety was a major part of my job. (recently retired)

Nobody wants to be in the position of being forced to the side of the road because of a breakdown. But chances have it that it could happen to you. The shoulder of the road can be a very hazardous place to be, indeed, no matter how far you get off the traveled portion of the road.

One thing that I have done is pack two(one for my wife,just in case) reflective safety vests in a plastic shopping bag inside the cubby where my jack fits. Not only are these highly visible at night but also attract a lot of attention during the daylight hours. So put safety first and make yourself visible if you are ever caught in this type of situation.

 

Um ok.....

 

I think that's a great idea. Too bad the GX does not come with some stuff to help though. Maybe those triangles or one vest.

 

I have a hand sized emergency strobe light. It has a velcrove strap on it, or you can just set in on your back bumper or ground. It pulses a very bright light, about every 5 seconds. It will get your attention, even in sunlight.

 

Good point made! You can never be too sure.
