When you\u2019re driving a car everything can go wrong, and suddenly you could find yourself stranded in the middle of nowhere, unprepared. Be sure to pack these items before going out on a drive if you want to avoid similar problems.<\/span><\/p>\n During an accident there\u2019s a chance that the people inside are injured, so a first aid kit is essential. You can purchase a first aid kit so you don\u2019t have to assemble one on your own.<\/span><\/p>\n Bring a day\u2019s worth of water and non-perishable food in case you would be stuck without help for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n If your engine won\u2019t turn on, you can use jump starters to power your car battery. It is a better option than just bringing jumper cables as there may not be other cars around to help start your car.<\/span><\/p>\n If your car is stuck somewhere, a tow strap, a tow hook, and a helping hand from a driver passing by can solve the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n Engine problems or even accidents may result in fire, so always be prepared by having a fire extinguisher ready. Make sure that you know how to use one.<\/span><\/p>\n This can take the form of swiss army knife, leatherman tool, or stinger USB emergency tool. Tools like these can help you cut your seatbelt if it\u2019s malfunctioning and even break the side window of your car.<\/span><\/p>\n A flashlight can aid you in making quick repairs to your car. It can also be used to give signal so rescuers can find you. Make sure to choose a waterproof flashlight and don\u2019t forget to bring spare batteries.<\/span><\/p>\n These reflectors will give other cars a visible warning sign so they wouldn\u2019t crash into your car. Make sure to place them at a safe distance from your vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n If you have to do fixes to your car under the rain, you\u2019d wish you have a raincoat to save yourself from the frustration.<\/span><\/p>\n A GPS unit will come in handy if you have no idea about your whereabouts but your smartphone is low on battery.<\/span><\/p>\n You can make calls with satellite phones no matter where you are on earth, so it\u2019s a more reliable tool to look for help.<\/span><\/p>\n You can further ready yourself in case of emergencies by getting affordable auto insurance<\/a>.
