It’s usually a very sudden malfunction, which can leave you miles away from help….and sometimes even out of cell phone range. That said, here’s a list of important items you should have in the trunk of your car at all times — with no exceptions! Crucial tips, which could quickly get you back on the road, and maybe even save your life!
Jumper Cables

First Aid Kits
A collection of supplies and equipment, which can be used to give first aid for minor wounds and for minimising damage until the emergency team arrive. This is mandated by law in some countries.
