Remember though the most obvious thing, the 'last' cars boot of that pileup will not be jammed!
This is my NSW experience where folks have offered me theirs to place, or placed it off their own bat having stopped at the scene.
AND if we mandated like Africa and Europe the item, then someone else will usually provide it if required.

More often than not, after the first accident, and then secondary collision (these happen so quick there's no time to place warnings) other drivers have slowed to avoid the 'obstacle', which flows down the line to create a traffic jam. I can imagine throwing a family's luggage left, right and centre from the boot, on the side of the Pacific Highway, trying to ascertain if they actually had a three angled device! (mandatory, or not!)
