For those of you who responded to my car emergency kit posting, I am basically done gathering my toys-- urh, I mean emergency tools-- except for a few things here and there. One of the things I'm thinking about adding is a help sign, and so I approach the Forum again in search of advice.

• Do I need a help sign if I already have road flares and flashing lights? (I think I do, because if I'm driving, I would interpret flashing lights as "caution!" rather than "I need your help!")
• What is a good source for a good sign? I found http://www.highwayhelp.org/sign.html, which seems to be a good idea. It hangs outside the car window (won't be obscured by snow or rain); it juts out vertically for better visibility; it is reflective. It may just be hard to purchase, and it says "call police" rather than "help."

Thanks!

P.S. Will share pictures as soon as I have the kit ready. Who says emergency preparedness is not fun?
