5 things every car should have to keep you safe in case of an emergency
1. Mobile phone: A fully charged mobile phone will let you contact the emergency services without having to find a phone box. However if you are on a motorway, using a roadside phone will allow the breakdown services to identify you and your position more quickly.
2. Torch/Flashlight: Carry a torch/flashlight in your glove box; it's handy for either examining the car in the dark or if you have to walk to get help in the dark (don't do this unless absolutely necessary).
3. Blanket: In case of breaking down in cold weather.
4. First Aid: A small kit can be bought from your chemists and can be used to treat minor injuries.
5. Food and water: A couple of energy bars and a bottle of water should be enough you keep you going until help arrives.
