This specific issue of accident traffic management is especially poignant to me as about three years ago now, my high school Woodshop/Health teacher and family friend (and one of our high school's beloved football coaches) was killed in a secondary accident after the car he was riding in was...

Food for thought, if you come to an accident, or are a vehicle in one. Even if you don't have a vehicle large enough to position (and I'm not blanket advocating blocking off lanes of traffic), it's good to be aware of what to expect emergency crews are going to be doing when they arrive...

Not just MERDEC camo'd vehicles, this was a safety thing in North America started back at the end of the '60's (too many rear-end accidents) - it was up to the individual unit commanders if they wanted to apply it to their pool's vehicles. They can be found in and out of circulation...

When are we gonna see a picture with those mounted 3M vehicle delineators I sent you? :mrgreen:

That reminds me of an anecdote... and another caution. About a year into dating my now wife, we were driving through a canyon at a few past midnight and came upon an accident. Single vehicle into a tree on the outside of a sharp downhill turn. Apparently the guy driving had JUST BOUGHT a new...

As a fuse replacement, I personnaly like the "Cyalume flare alternative". Not only do they last longer than the typical 15 or 30 minute flares, they are lit along their entire edge/surface. Other bonuses include: it doesn't leak like a flare when stored for a long time, doesn't set your state...
