Keys to Roadside Services recommends every vehicle have some form of Breakdown Illumination for day time and especially night time. We recommend LED Safety Lights rather than the traditional burning flares. Please see state the normal state regulations on hazard lighting below:
LED SAFETY LIGHTING VS Road Flares
- LEDs are safer to use
- LEDs Are easier to store
- LED lights preform longer
- Allow versatile placement around the vehicle
We Recommend Two Products
Circular Disks
The Emergency Disks are Magnetic, Hang from the car or lay on the Ground
LED Flares
We recommend the use of both the Light Disks and the Flairs
