Netagon warning triangle for cars – ECE R27 reflective red breakdown kit
Car trouble always seems to happen when you least expect it, and that sudden bit of panic is easily tamed with the right kit. These Netagon warning triangles give other road users a clear, legally compliant warning so your vehicle’s easier to spot and you can sort things out safely. They feature highly reflective red panels, fold away neatly into a carry case and meet the ECE R27 standard required for driving in France and across Europe.
What this kit includes
The set has two foldable warning triangles, each supplied with its own protective carry case. The sections click together in seconds and the triangles stand firm on most road surfaces. The reflective material picks up headlights and daylight alike, so they improve visibility at dusk, in fog or rain — handy really, given our weather.
Why it helps
Whether you’re on the hard shoulder or a quiet country lane, a visible warning sign makes all the difference. These triangles alert approaching drivers early, cutting the risk of a secondary collision and giving you time to get out of harm’s way. They’re also a practical legal requirement in many European countries, so carrying them avoids fines — and those awkward conversations with the gendarmerie.
- Compliant with ECE R27 standards – suitable for travel in France and across Europe.
- Foldable design for quick set-up and compact storage when not in use.
- High-visibility reflective panels for improved safety in low light and adverse weather.
- Each triangle comes with a hard-wearing carry case for neat storage in the boot or under a seat.
- Lightweight and portable – easy to keep in the vehicle at all times.
How to use
When it’s safe to do so, deploy the triangles to warn other road users. Check local rules for exact placement, but as a general guide place a triangle well behind the vehicle where it’s obvious to approaching traffic — many drivers use about 45 metres on open roads if it’s safe. Wear high-visibility clothing when you step out and don’t risk standing in the carriageway. After use, fold the triangles back into their cases and tuck them back in the boot. No faffing about — quick and simple.
