A recent survey found that a significant portion of drivers don't know essential information about their own vehicles, like engine size or how to check tire pressure. But regardless of your knowledge of vehicle maintenance, you can still improve your safety by equipping your car with a few items to prepare for the worst.
Stocking your car with items such as a first aid kit, flashlight, and jumper cables can help you handle unexpected situations on the road. StudyFinds combed through eight safety guides to determine the most important safety items to keep in your car.
A first aid kit is probably the most essential safety item you can have in your car. Accidents happen, and having basic medical supplies on hand can help you address minor injuries or provide temporary relief until professional help arrives.
Flexed reminds us to keep it 'fully stocked' so that you have everything you need in case of a medical emergency. Make sure your kit includes bandages, antiseptic wipes, gauze pads, adhesive tape, pain relievers, scissors, and any personal medications you may need.
