Emergency and general safety supplies for cars

You may think that experiencing emergency situations on the road is a rare occurrence, but the truth is that it is more common than you think (and more often than you think) . The car does not know that you have an important appointment and may stop at a completely unexpected time and place.

Therefore, you have to be prepared for any situation, especially if you travel frequently.

There are some tools and equipment (necessary supplies) that it is preferable to have in the car trunk to face any emergency situation. In this guide presented by Jaafar Shop , we will discuss the most important tools that must be permanently present in your car’s luggage in anticipation of any emergency situation.

1. Battery-powered flashlight:

A flashlight is one of the most important tools that should be in the car trunk. You will need a light source if you park your car in a dark place devoid of people or buildings. The flashlight will help you figure out your problem, especially if the car's power goes out.

Not having a flashlight in such a situation means spending a night in the dark unable to solve the problem or ask anyone for help.

2. Emergency triangle:

One of the most important items that should be in every car bag is an emergency triangle. A car breaking down on one side of the road or in the middle of the road requires drawing the attention of other drivers on the road, especially if the road is fast and cars pass on it at high speed.

The emergency triangle warns other car owners that there is a broken down car on the side of the road so they should move out of its path.

It is best to have more than one emergency triangle to draw the attention of cars on the road from all directions.

3. Tire filling inflator:

One of the most common problems is a tire puncture while driving on the road. Changing the punctured tire with another healthy tire requires a lot of effort from the car owner. If you have a tire filler, it will be easy to inflate your flat tire until you reach the nearest tire changing place. This device may completely save the situation in the event of a problem with the spare tire.

4. Shovel:

Lovers of walking in unknown places or deserts should have a shovel in their car bag. Having a shovel will provide a way out of sand or road conditions.

A first aid kit is an absolute necessity in any car. Having an equipped first aid bag may save your life or the life of another person. The bag contains a set of carefully selected medical tools, such as a resuscitator, gauze, cotton, bandages, scissors, medical gloves, medical alcohol, antipyretics, and others.

6. Fire extinguisher:

Cars drive with flammable materials, whether gasoline or oil. Fires are one of the most serious problems that may happen to cars, especially on the road and in traffic. Fires do not only occur as a result of accidents, but may occur as a result of an electrical short circuit or oil or fuel leakage.

There are several specifications for automobile fire extinguishers. The extinguisher must conform to standard specifications and weigh less than two kilograms.

The extinguisher must also be either powder or carbon dioxide. Of course, the extinguisher must be directly operable and easy to use.

During the driving test, you will be asked to demonstrate how to use a fire extinguisher.

7. Other tools:

There are many other tools that should be in the trunk such as keys, screwdrivers, jumper cables needed to revive the battery/activate the battery/charge the battery and water bottles.
