Do you have an emergency kit in the trunk of your car? If so, what’s in it? Here are some essential items for every roadside emergency kit:
Jumper cables: they should be 10ft long and coated in rubber
First-aid Kit: your kit should include bandages, adhesive tape, gauze, aspirin, antiseptic cream/ointment, and any personal items that you or family members may require
Hazard Triangles or flares: Flares, cones, or hazard triangles provide warning to other drivers to your distress
Foam tire Sealant: A cheap and fast way to fix a flat without changing the tire
Spare fuses: Spare fuses and a tool to pull them are cheap and may provide a solution to common car issues
Flashlight and extra batteries: A flashlight is necessary as you may find yourself on the side of the road at night or need light to check in the engine or under the vehicle
Nonperishable snacks: Granola or energy bars are good choices as they are high in protein and take up little space
Drinking water: The southern California sun is no joke, stay hydrated, and be prepared especially in an emergency situation.
Tool kit: the kit should include a variety of basic hand tools, such as: screwdrivers (phillips and flathead), pliers, an adjustable wrench
Duct tape: Duct tape is universal and can help to solve a variety of issues that may occur
