A triangle can save your life - if you know how to use it right. What is the right distance but what is good to have in the car for unexpected situations?
Road safety is paramount
The mandatory equipment of passenger cars is an essential part of the equipment of each vehicle. Make sure you have everything in your car so you don't get clueless on the road, help others, or get a fine.
AAA AUTO experts, celebrating their 25th anniversary on the market, have put together a security package that should not be missing in any vehicle. In addition to the mandatory elements, it also contains extra items.
The most important part of the compulsory equipment of a car is undoubtedly a first aid kit. However, beware of the expiration date of the medical supplies, if only one module is expired, the entire first aid kit is considered invalid.
The fine can reach up to 50 euros.
The obligatory equipment of each vehicle must also include safety clothing. Reflective vests must be located within reach of the driver's seat. The equipment also includes an approved warning triangle.

How far away from the car is the triangle?
If the car becomes an obstruction to the road, the driver must put on the warning vest with reflective tape and place the warning triangle as soon as possible, away from the obstacle, so that oncoming drivers can see it in a timely and clear manner.
The package contains instructions for use with the recommended distance to the vehicle.
In the village, it is at least 50 m and on the highway 100 meters from the car. If you are not standing on a straight but winding road, place a triangle in front of the bend
Gloves and tow rope will also meet
Although the tow rope does not belong to the required equipment, you can find it in the AAA AUTO package. You never know when you need it and help you get out of a difficult situation.
The last part of the set is anti-slip gloves, which will protect you from dirt in the event of a wheel change.
"We have compiled the safety set based on long-term experience in practice and specific cases so that it not only complies with the legislation of the Slovak Republic but especially to be useful for drivers and other road users," concludes Karolína Topolova CEO of AAA AUTO.
