What safety jacket and emergency triangle? Do you carry those in your car? I've never thought about buying those things to keep in my car. Is that something that is commonly done?

Carrying a safety vest and triangles is only common in the US if you're driving a commercial vehicle. Other countries may have different rules. Regardless of the rules, it's a good idea for anyone.

Carrying (and deploying) a triangle is mandatory in e.g. Germany. Carrying (and wearing) a safety vest is mandatory in e.g. Austria.

Safety triangles are inexpensive. So are safety vests (think I paid about $6 including shipping on eBay recently). Especially compared to a hospital (or morgue) stay.

@user128216 Yeah, I didn't know those weren't required in US. Anyway, I just mentioned these to reinforce the idea about roadside repairs being dangerous, especially when going under the car.
