When you’re out driving, you
never know when an emergency situation is going to strike. From poor weather
conditions to mechanical failure, driving is risky business. Unexpected events
can occur, and do, all the time. Every motorist should always be prepared for
the worst-case scenario and have basic supplies and equipment in their car at
all times. These items should be things
that can help you fix basic problems with your car as well as things that’ll
keep you and your passengers safe and comfortable.
Here is a list of things you
should have for you and your passengers:
· Charged cellphone that has a flashlight and flash camera.
Keep an extra battery and charger handy too.
· First aid kit
· Notepad and a pen that contains a list of emergency
contact numbers and roadside assistance service numbers.
· Rags, gloves and hand cleaner
· Nonperishable snacks and water
· Cash in small bills
For your car:
· Jumper cables
· Spare tire, jack, and lug wrench to switch out a flat
or blow out.
· Road flares to make yourself visible to passing
motorists in case you need to pull over
· Basic tools like an adjustable wrench and
screwdrivers. These tools come handy for changing burned-out headlight bulbs or
tightening battery cables.
