What are 5 things ever car owner should keep in their vehicle?
1. First aid kit – Your kit should include items such as Band-Aids, ointment, gauze pads, scissors, and gloves. If you don’t want to think too hard about all the little odds and ends you may need, you can purchase pre-made kits online.
2. Jumper cables – A dead battery is a common and frustrating malfunction you might face. Jumpstarting a car is quite an easy and effective process in case that there is someone near you with a running engine who is willing to help, and you or your rescuer have jumper cables.
3. Extra clothing – If you get caught in a snowstorm or a rainstorm, it will be helpful to have an extra pair of dry clothes to change into.
4. Spare tire, jack, and lug wrench – Nothing is quite so frustrating as finding out that your spare tire has a flat or you forgot your jack in the garage. So, make sure you have a jack, inflated spare tire, and lug wrench in the car. If you have two of these items and not the third, it’s all useless. These three things go together so make sure you have them all.
5. Reflective Triangles – Any reflective item will be your nighttime safeguard. If you’ve pulled off to the shoulder for any prolonged amount of time, put these safety essentials around your vehicle. They offer enhanced visibility for ongoing traffic, lowering the possibility of you being hit by unsuspecting drivers while you’re waiting for the help you need.
