Even a well maintained vehicle can break down, so it’s advisable to put together an emergency roadside kit to carry with you. A cell phone tops the list of emergency roadside kit contents since it allows you to call for help when and where you need it.
Here are some suggested Emergency Roadside Kit Contents:
- Cell Phone
- First Aid Kit
- Flashlight
- Flares and a white flag
- Jumper Cables
- Jack (and ground mat) for changing a tire
- Work gloves and a change of clothes
- Basic Repair tools and some duct tape for temporarily repairing a hose leak
- A jug of water and some paper towels for cleaning up
- Nonperishable food, drinking water, and medicine
- Extra windshield washer fluid
- Maps
Keep these with you at all times and you’ll find life much easier should you run in to any problems on the road!
