The V16 beacons have arrived to replace the classic emergency triangles and make, in the event of an accident on the road, the way to notify other drivers and the competent authorities faster, easier and more effective than it was until now. Many people have had problems the first time they bought this new security system because the V16 beacon models they bought were not correctly approved or their operation did not correspond to the basic functions that this type of device must fulfill.
We have selected the three best-selling V16 beacons with the best average rating on Amazon during the month of February. They all have the correct DGT approval and are designed to be useful and functional in dangerous situations on the road.
