A roadside emergency kit can be the difference between you quickly getting back on the road or waiting for hours after you are struck with an emergency situation. These are a few items that you will need for the most common emergencies.

Car Accident Items

A car accident is instantaneous and can be jarring. After you have assessed the situation and moved your vehicle over to a safe location, you will want to call the police and any additional necessary entities. Keep some flares or cones in your vehicle’s emergency kit so that you can block off the area and signal to other drivers that there was an accident.

Stranded Items

Your emergency kit should have jumper cables and a spare tire for if you are stranded. Having jumper cables will allow you to have your vehicle jump started by another driver if your vehicle dies, and a spare tire will provide a means for you to travel with your vehicle after its tire has gone flat.
