I would have thought that when driving in sand hill territory that would have been common sense Kevin, obviously not.
 
^ agreed. We've always had flags but they are now very specific e.g. I used to fly an Aussie flag (no night driving) but now has to be reflective and specifically sized and brightly coloured.
 
Thanks for the info Kevin & great to see & hear something sensible for a change :)
Also great that they have to be bright, a specific colour & size too :)
