    Whenever you're planning a road trip somewhere, and even when you're just going to work, it's always good to have an emergency kit in your vehicle. You never know when you may need it or when you may be of assistance to someone else. Having this kit can save you time and money for things that you would already have stored in your trunk or in your back compartment if you have an SUV.

    Auto emergency kits should be filled with a few important items. A durable flashlight with working batteries is a must. Trying to deal with a mechanical problem after dark is impossible. You need light to see what you are doing and try to figure out what is wrong. Leather gloves will offer protection for the hands if a tire needs to be changed. They will also keep the hands warm in the winter. Breaking down in the rain or snow presents even more problems. Include a waterproof poncho so you can stay dry if it becomes necessary to leave the car.

    Pack some nonperishable food and drinking water in your auto safety kit. Without water, it is easy to become dehydrated, especially during the summer months. Granola bars or trail mix will help maintain your strength if you are stranded for a long period of time.

    Keep in mind, assistance may not always come right away. It may take several minutes to a half hour for someone to come to your rescue. It all depends on where you are on the road. If you're in a rural area, it may take longer. This is because the assistance may have to come from afar. Until the assistance comes, you will need food and water to tie you down.

    When possible, always try to park the car in an area that has lights. This may not be an option if the car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. This is why it is crucial to include a light stick and flashlight in any vehicle survival kit. At least one extra set of batteries for the flashlight should be included in auto safety kits. The batteries could burn out if it takes a long time for help to arrive and the flashlight is turned on the entire time. No matter how far you are traveling, it is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to assembling emergency equipment to keep in the car.
