I carry them, even when not on the ocean. Be careful though, displaying one for a breakdown could be illegal, depending on the situation.
I think the law is:
It is prohibited to display visual distress signals on the water except when assistance is required to prevent immediate or potential danger to persons onboard a vessel.
