Why some people place a plastic bag at their cars window when they car break down?
When police spot a car by the roadside, it’s often difficult to tell whether the car has been abandoned, if the motorist has gone to get the help they need, and whether or not the owner is coming back soon or even during that same day. Most people are unprepared for their car to break down, and usually don’t have paper and pen on hand to leave a note. Many vehicles get ticketed and even towed because of this, especially when they break down in the middle of the road, causing traffic jams or being a hazard to other motorists. When vehicle owners do leave a note, messages are often scribbled on all sorts of bits of scrap paper and napkins which are usually illegible. While many individuals have cell phones in their cars, there are areas where cell phones don’t work due to bad reception, such as rural areas. And even when the cell phone is used, for example, to call someone to pick them up, the car is left by itself for a period of time. Roadside Message Board: Unique Features & Benefits:
