In the summer, people spend a lot of time on vacation road trips. But if your vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere, you and your passengers can face serious danger. So keep an emergency repair kit in your car. A good kit includes flashlight with fresh batteries, flares, warning triangles, road map, emergency contact numbers and a basic set of tools including jack, lug wrench, tyre pump and jumper cables. And finally don’t forget to include a first-aid kit and some non-perishable snack items and bottled water in case you become stranded.
