What is the significance of checking the safety triangles?

Checking the safety triangles is crucial because they are designed to alert other drivers of a roadside emergency. When a bus is stopped unexpectedly, particularly on the side of the road, placing safety triangles at a certain distance behind the vehicle provides a visual warning to approaching traffic. This warning helps prevent collisions by giving drivers adequate notice of a potential hazard ahead to adjust their speed or change lanes as necessary. The effectiveness of these triangles in enhancing safety on the road is pivotal in ensuring the protection of not only the passengers and the driver but also other road users.

While fuel efficiency, brake indication, and overall performance are important aspects of vehicle maintenance and operation, they are not the primary purpose of safety triangles. Their primary role is focused on safety during roadside emergencies.
