Numerous incidents that compromise our safety can arise when driving with our car. If this happens, it is best to call the insurer to request assistance on the road and wait patiently for help from the crane or emergency services. However, there are some cases in which we could be forced to solve the problem by ourselves. For example, highlights what happened last winter on the AP-6, where numerous vehicles were trapped on the road for 18 hours because of heavy snowfall.

 

Thus, to avoid cases like this we must be cautious and have an emergency kit. Above all, in time such as autumn where we are more exposed to rain and weather changes. If you do not know what you should carry in it, we show you some recommendations, based on the contributions of Projects and Insurance.

 

According to the DGT, there are certain objects that cannot be missing in our vehicle. To begin, we talk about the two triangles of signaling that must be approved. They serve to signal an incident on the road and warn other drivers that your vehicle cannot continue the march. Of course, we cannot place them if we do not have the second mandatory item: the reflective vest with reflective materials. Also approved, which will take care of our visibility on the road in front of other vehicles.

 

Also, we must carry a spare wheel and the necessary tools to replace the damaged or, failing that, an anti-puncture kit. Also, if we talk about vehicles destined for the transport of people or goods, it is important to point out that they must have a fire extinguisher for emergencies.

 

It is a really useful tool, if we have any incidence with our vehicle at night or in areas with poor visibility. Seeing the problem clearly will help us to give a more precise part to the insurance and they will be able to offer us a more effective help. The most recommended is to use a manual recharge flashlight, but if we have a more conventional, do not forget the replacement batteries.

 

In case of an accident, it is very helpful to have a first aid kit in the car that has basic items. For example, we talk about bandages, bandages, alcohol, gauze and some medications. However, we must remember that in case there are victims, the first thing we must do be signaling the accident, then ask for help and, finally, try to help the wounded. This does not mean that we act as doctors precipitously. If we do not know how to proceed, it is better to wait for emergency services.

 

If we have this tool in our car, we may not even need to call the crane. We will only need the collaboration of another vehicle to try to recharge our battery enough to, at least, reach the nearest workshop. Remember that even if it has worked again, you could stop doing it at any time, so you should turn to the professionals as soon as possible.

 

In the event that some part of the body of the car is detached, these tools will serve to hold the pieces until you reach the nearest workshop. Otherwise, it is important to note that you will not be able to drive, as you could compromise your safety and that of other road users.

 

If you are one of those who only checks the car when it is strictly necessary, we recommend that you take a little bit of engine oil, antifreeze and brake fluid. Keeping car fluids within the established levels are essential for the proper functioning of the car. Avoid taking unnecessary risks.

 

This tool is more useful when temperatures drop, since sometimes we moons may have ice sheets that limit our visibility and we must scrape them to remove them. Of course, we must try to do it carefully if we do not want to scratch the windshield.
