Pop up shrubbery

Breakdown!

There is a strange habit that I see on the roads in my locale:

When the vehicle breaks down, there is a code that says "You shall tear a branch from a nearby tree and place it under your rear bumper. In that way, it gives any passing motorist plenty of warning about your situation."

This replaces the hazard warning lights (non operational), and reflective triangle and so on.

But, what should one do when there is no handy foliage nearby? This is where there should be a pop up type shrubbery, maybe based on fold up Christmas trees.

Maybe it should have twinkly lights as well...

       "Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher, so we get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle."

       [Normzone], re:link; some oblique way of telling me something? Oh, and the current locale is Thailand, which provides plenty of amusement during the daily commute.

       Actially there are plenty of dead dogs... but I did note a recent increase in bodies just over the last Songkran water festival period. Drove past two in one week. Motorbikes.

       [Xandram], yes! But should be greener... I remember making those when I was a kid.
