Every vehicle should have auto emergency kits in it. An emergency can happen at any time. It can cause a person to be stranded for a long time especially if they do not have a kit to help them get out of the situation.
One of these kits can include tools to fix your car or a first aid kit. They can also have blankets, food and water in them. Granola bars and energy bars are a good thing to have in an emergency situation. A first aid kit should have bandages, gauze and scissors. It will also need to have adhesive tape, hot and cold packs, pain relievers and antibiotic ointment.
A flashlight is also important for an auto roadside kit. Extra batteries should be included also. Emergency flares, a help sign, pen and paper is good to have also. The things needed to change a tire are very important also. A spare tire is very important along with a vehicle jack, tire gauge and a tire iron that is the right size for your lug nuts. It is also important to have a way to inflate a tire or possible the type that can fix a small leak. Sometimes when the tire is just low, you will be able to inflate it until you can get to a garage.
Flat tires are not the only thing that is going to strand you. Emergency kits can also have the tools that will allow you to perform basic repairs also. Screwdrivers are important along with vise grips, pliers, an adjustable wrench, a multipurpose tool and a pocketknife. There are other things that can come in handy also. Fluids that your vehicle uses may be included also. Oil, windshield washer fluid and antifreeze are common things that are used. In the winter, it is necessary to have an ice scraper and a snow brush. Paper towels or rags along with duct tape are good things to have available to you also.
Because we live in an economy that is fast paced, a lot of people travel. Some people may have a long drive to work or maybe you just want to take a country drive. Either way it is good to be prepared. Emergency kits may eliminate some of the time that you will be stranded. It is important that you are prepared for this situation. You also need to know how to use the things in your auto emergency kit too.
