Be Prepared For A Roadside Emergency
A roadside emergency kit is the one item that every vehicle 
should have; yet most of us never carry any of the basic items that we need to get back on the road quickly and safely.
Kits are necessary even if you have On-Star, AAA or another roadside-assistance coverage because a roadside emergency can happen at any time.
These kits are intended to aid you in getting help, signaling your car’s presence to other motorists, and tackling simple challenges.
Some of the basic items should include:
- Cell Phone
- First Aid Kit
- Road Flares
- Jumper Cables
- Tire Gauge
- Tire Inflator/Sealant
- Flashlight
- Window Glass Breaker
- Seatbelt Cutter
- Screwdriver/Wrench
- Fire Extinguisher
- Disposable Camera
Many retail establishments sell a variety of roadside safety kits. Before you use your kit in an emergency situation, you should take some time to familiarize yourself with the items you’ve collected and how to use them properly. It’s also important to make periodic checks on the equipment to ensure it’s in working order.
