Seven essential things to have in your car at all times

First Aid Kit: A well-stocked first-aid box can help you prepare for emergencies. A first aid kit should have burn ointment, anti-bacterial ointment, bandages, cleansing alcohol solution, etc.

Jumper cables: Machines can be unreliable. Hence, keeping a few jumper cables handy in your car can save you from being stranded in case your car breaks down. If you have been using the same set of cables for a long time, it is time to replace them.

Flat tyre kit: Keeping a flat tyre kit in your car can save you if you end up with a flat tyre. Always keep a spare tyre in the back of your car and do check it regularly to make sure it’s properly inflated. Also, keep basic tools like a jack, lug wrench to jack up the car.

Fire extinguisher: A fire extinguisher can be really helpful in case of fire. At least it will help you to get some control over the situation before it becomes a disaster.

Towing cable: In case your car is stuck in the sand and needs to be towed, you can use a towing cable and rope emergency kit. This can be easily stored in the trunk of the car.
