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...-- Ling, Apr 22 2014 like this newspaper Christmas tree! http://www.youtube....watch?v=lgrx1KG-lDU [xandram, Apr 22 2014] OPQ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPQ [normzone, Apr 23 2014] Roger that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShrubberyI am a shrubber.

"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."

Oh, and the current locale is Thailand, which provides plenty of amusement during the daily commute.-- Ling, Apr 23 2014 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.-- Ling, Apr 23 2014 [Xandram], yes! But should be greener... I remember making those when I was a kid.-- Ling, Apr 23 2014 OK, a green bun for using green paper! +-- xandram, Apr 23 2014 random, halfbakery
