Even if you keep on top of your vehicle's maintenance, roadside breakdowns can still occur. But if you keep a roadside emergency kit in your car, you can save yourself a lot of trouble and stay much safer as you patch up problems yourself or wait for help to arrive.
Here is a list of a few things to keep with you on the road:
- Reflective warning triangles: You should have at least three of these. Place them about 50 feet apart to give oncoming traffic clear warning.
- Foam tire sealant: This is a fast temporary fix to help you get where you're going.
- Waterproof flashlight: Make sure to keep extra batteries with you!
- Jumper cables: Cables that are at least ten feet long and coated in eight-gauge rubber should do nicely.
- Duct tape: A ten-foot roll ought to do it.
