Ok, as an
individual who enjoys a tidy workspace, I can understand why you wouldn’t want
to be compared to the vehicle equivalent of the individuals on the TV show:
“Hoarders.” We also want you to keep
safe while you make your daily commute, so we’re feeling a bit conflicted. In most cases, your vehicle is well equipped
with the necessary tools to run smoothly.
In today’s blog, with help from The
Simple Dollar, we provide a list of some extra essentials that could aid
you daily.
1. Owner’s
manual This
should naturally be in your glove compartment anyway, but you want to make sure
that it is indeed in your car.
2. Maps Keep a detailed map of the
state you’re in in your car at all times – or even a current atlas if you have
room. Don’t
completely rely on a GPS navigation system.
3. First
aid kit (and manual)
This can be vital if you’re in an accident and someone has injuries. Slowing
down bleeding quickly can mean the difference between walking something off and
going into shock.
4. Flashlight
(and extra batteries)
Similarly, a flashlight is utterly essential at night if you need to change a
tire.
5. Bottled
water
This is necessary for sustenance if you get stuck somewhere and have to wait
for a while.
6.
Food! Non-perishables, need we say
more?
7. Umbrella
stay dry, my friends.
