Current Highway Code (HC248) says don't bother with triangles on motorways.

Hmmm. Not sure. Is is safer to be roaming round the hard shoulder putting out a tiny piece of plastic, or better just getting behind any barrier available?
An aside - saw a 44t artic on the hard shoulder last week with a triangle about 10 yards behind it. Not a lot of use!

Twenty cones and nine really neat amber lights that flash in sequence!
