Where should emergency warning requirements be stored in a vehicle?

Emergency warning requirements, such as hazard lights, reflective warning triangles, or other emergency signaling devices, should be readily accessible in a vehicle for the safety of the occupants and other road users. Storing these items under the front passenger seat ensures they can be easily retrieved in case of an emergency without needing to exit the vehicle, which is especially important in hazardous situations on the road. This location is convenient and allows for quick access when immediate action is required.

The other potential storage locations may not facilitate prompt retrieval. For instance, items in the dashboard glove compartment could be less accessible if there's a need for a rapid response. Those stored in the trunk would require getting out of the vehicle to obtain them, which is not ideal during emergencies. Placing items on the driver’s side door could pose a risk of distraction while driving and may not accommodate all necessary emergency items.
