Things to keep in your car when you’re on the road
Any number of emergencies could occur while in your car, so you should be prepared
Many of us travel to work every day, whether in Ladysmith or out of town.
Getting stuck in traffic when a motor vehicle crash takes place is a nightmare! Many of us are unprepared and have to wait hours for the scene to be cleared. In fact, any number of emergencies could occur while in your car, so you should be prepared for these eventualities.
Here are a few essential items you should keep in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
1- First aid kit: If you’re involved in an accident, you may need a first aid kit before paramedics arrive.
2- Jumper cables: Because dead batteries happen to the best of us. So be prepared just in case your battery dies on the road.
3- Clean towels: Keeping some clean towels in your car will ensure that the interior is clean at all times. You can also use them during repairs.
4- Bottled water: Water can be used for a wide variety of purposes. For example, you can quench your thirst if you’re stuck at an accident scene.
5- Fire extinguisher: Carry a small fire extinguisher to put out localised fires that would otherwise spread and cause more damage.
6- Spare tyre: Just about every driver has experienced a flat tyre on the road. Just be prepared!
Be safe on the road!
