11 Things a Smart Driver Keeps In Their Car

Every car owner has a standard set of items in their glove compartment and trunk: sunglasses, a soft tissue, a spare wheel and other things of that nature. But sometimes, especially during long trips, these items may not be helpful enough for what you need.

SUMMARY:
- With jumper cables, any good-natured passerby can come to your aid and jump-start your car’s battery, allowing you to head home or drive your car to a mechanic.
- If you accidentally drive up to the curb and the plastic flap under your car comes halfway off, what can you do? You can’t detach or reattach it, and there’s no mechanic close by. Duct tape it.
- If you are moving to a location that sees frigid temperatures, you might not know how essential an ice scraper is. This plastic tool might not add to the elegance of your car, but it will become your best friend come winter.
- Hopefully, you’ll never get into a car accident and be forced to use the first aid kit, but there might be other situations where it comes in handy.
- Buy a small flashlight, and keep it in your glove compartment. When your phone is dead and you’re in a creepy town trying to find your way to a motel, you’ll be happy you have your flashlight with you.
- There are a lot of escape tools that have a blade to cut a seat belt. They are also designed to break the windows of a car. You might never have to use it, but if you ever need to escape from your car, you’ll be glad you have it.
- Maybe you just have too much trash lying around or want your car to be tidier. Instead of stuffing it all in the glove compartment, stuff it in the trash bag.
- Everyone should have a hazard triangle. You’ll want to use it if your car breaks down on a dark road or if your car stops on a dangerous curve that won’t allow the cars behind you to see you until the last minute.
- A blanket can help balance your body temperature and make it more difficult for hypothermia to set in. There are also electric car blankets that can be useful if you’re transporting someone who is sick or just for comfort during long trips in winter.
- What’s your plan if you get a flat tire? You can use a tire sealer. They can fill up your car’s tire with a chemical sealing agent, which will have you back on the road in less than 10 minutes.
- Maybe you overestimated your car’s wheels and drove straight into a snowy field only to find yourself stuck. Just pour a bunch of kitty litter by your tires. The kitty litter will add enough traction to your wheels to set you free.
