The triangle is mandatory.
Spain even requires you to have and put up 2 of them when you break down.
More mandatory stuff in Europe :
- fire extinguisher in most EU countries (even though it's known these small 2 lbs devices won't extinguish much, if anything)
- warning triangle(s)
- first aid kit
- and the recent fab : hi-viz throw-overs for at least the driver (France requires them for all occupants)
All introduced in the name of perceived
safety ...
Removing the whole useless lot from European cars would cut down 10.000s of tons of essentially useless goods being hauled around.
