Creating a car survival kit can help you be prepared for most roadside situations. You can store this kit somewhere out of the way, such as under a seat, tire compartment or in the trunk.
Some items you want to include in your car in case of an emergency:
• Jumper Cables
• Flares or triangle reflectors
• Backup supply of motor oil
• First aid kit
• Flashlight
• Blanket or heat-holding material
• Tool kit with screwdrivers or a pocket knife
• Paper towels
• Duct Tape
• Granola or energy bars and an emergency supply of food
Preparing your survival kit is a good time to double check you have your vehicle ownership and insurance liability slip in your car. It’s an easy and innocent mistake to forget about these important documents, but if caught without them, you could be faced with a ticket or a possible surcharge to your insurance policy.
