I saw a advertisement for these from Spain for £33 I thought that’s not to bad, that’s until I saw the delivery charge £100.65

And most of that £100.65 is taxes and tariffs because UK is a Third Country ... There is likely to be an additional charge of £15 upwards for the UK Couriers to deal with the import paperwork [based on late 2021 tariffs]

No, there is a difference between "You must..." and "You should...."

Correct. Except it doesn't say "should" in that particular rule either.

It says "if your vehicle breaks down..... put a warning triangle"

No should, could you, would you possibly if it's not too much trouble etc.

That's the point. If you are not required to do it, it isn't a requirement, just advice.

I'm really not sure where you see "if you want to" in the sentence that says "put a warning triangle"

It isn't there. Nor is "You must". That's the point.

"Put" is an instruction, not a request.

"Put" is an instruction, not a request.

That is true but irrelevant.

Except it's in the rule, but whatever. You do you petal.

I got one from Amazon WITHOUT a SIM aas it just seems a good idea, it was £12 at the time. If I was stranded due to breakdown I'd still use the Triangle too but who wouldnt want maximum visibility!.

I did the same. Seems a sensible precaution and small and lightweight so easy to stow on board.
