If we have a breakdown or an accident on the highway or motorway, we no longer have to get out of the car. Because? For security. Only last year, 22 people who had gotten out of their vehicle to place the emergency triangle were run over to death. So the General Directorate of Traffic has established that from July 1 motorists who have a problem with their car and are stopped on a fast road no longer have to place the emergency triangles.
So, what to do from now on if we have a mishap on the road? Use a V16 beacon such as the one approved by the DGT FlashLED SOS V16 Connected, which will replace the triangles as of January 1, 2026. Until then, if drivers do not yet have this new device, users will still They will not have to get out of the vehicle. The FlashLED SOS V16 is an intelligent device that is installed on the roof of the vehicle thanks to its magnet and signals without having to get out of the car.
While it is activated, the emergency beacon connects anonymously with the DGT 3.0 platform at no cost to the user. In this way, and through the integration in the different vehicle browsers, the anonymous location is shared with the rest of the users.
The beacon, which is visible from more than a kilometer away, incorporates a communication module and an eSIM card from Telefónica Tech, with a connectivity service included until 2038.
Designed and manufactured in Spain, FlashLED SOS is approved by the DGT and has additional functions such as confirmation of receipt of the notice in DGT. This intelligent emergency light also has the SOS alert mobile phone application, from which the vehicle can be linked with the insurance or roadside assistance company, which will receive the notice in real time.
Flashled can now be obtained through this website and at different points of sale with a subscription of 6 euros for each emergency triangle updated.
