The Items You Need In Your Car Emergency Kit

1/6/2020

In addition to having the number for a roadside assistance service, you should also have a car emergency kit. It could save your life.

Being Prepared with a Car Emergency Kit

Regardless of when incidents happen, you must be ready. Car emergency kits give you the chance to survive until a towing service or medical help arrives.


Below are the must-have items for your car emergency kit: 

First-Aid Kit
Every motorist must have a first-aid kit with everything such as gauze, antibiotic ointment, different size band-aids, scissors, gloves, multipurpose splint, burn spray, and pain relief tablets. The kit also should have eyewash, antiseptic spray, tweezers, Clorox wipes, adhesive tapes, alcohol pads, blood stopper compress, ice pack, and anything else you deem essential. 

Fire Extinguisher
Fire extinguishers must be for Class B and Class C fires. 

Jumper Cables
A jump fixes car experiencing electrical problems. Jumper cables must be at least 10 feet long. Jumper cables must provide you with protection from any electrical surge. The cables also must be insulated enough for the usual wear and tear. 

Tow Rope or Strap
Even if every driver can have four-wheel drive automobiles, there can still be situations in which your car gets stuck. Heavy-duty tow straps or ropes can be your best friend. 

Reflective Triangles
Reflective triangles signify there is an emergency. These triangles are essential so that other drivers may use caution when coming to your location. 

Portable Car Charger
Automotive problems can leave you stranded in the most remote areas. For that reason alone, you must always carry a portable phone charger. Some come with swift charging abilities. But the milliamp hours are the most crucial.

Duct Tape
Regardless of what's cracked, duct tape is the temporary repairer you must have on hand. 

Blanket
A blanket doesn't seem necessary until you need one. For instance, a blanket works as a barrier, and the ground when you need to inspect under your vehicle. If stranded for a long time, wrap your blanket around you until help arrives. 
​

Flashlight
When shopping for a good flashlight, stay clear of the rechargeable ones unless you plan on buying a good number of battery units. Get a crank emergency flashlight. This type delivers bright light for a long time with just a turn of the crank. 

If you find yourself stranded on the road, call Buffalo Roadside Assistance to get help immediately and affordably.
