I thought I would put this out there for you guys.
I recently went and bought a couple of those LED lights that you attach to the back of your bicycle when riding. You know, the red flashing ones?
Anyhow, I epoxied a rare earth magnet to the back of it and I am going to keep one in the tool kit for each bus. The rare earth magnet will hold it securely to any part of the body of the bus. I figure if a bus calves on me, I can put it on the hatch to act as emergency flashers. If I'm driving at night and concerned about the tail lights being a little too dim, I can slap it on. If the bus breaks down and needs to be towed, it is a good warning device.
Not all dollies, trailers or towbars have good, working tail lights, so it can also act as "tail lights" on the back of the buses whenever they get towed as well.
They cost $10 at Canadian Tire, a couple bucks for batteries. I think it is a good addition to my "emergency" kit and the stress it will relieve if I ever need it will pay it off tenfold.
