    All vehicles will need auto emergency kits. An emergency can happen when it is least convenient. Sometimes it just cannot be avoided. This is why you will need an emergency kit. They can save you time and help you through a disaster also.

    The kit should include tools for car repairs as well as essentials such as a first aid kit, a blanket or an emergency solar blanket, water, and food. Granola or energy bars are the perfect food for roadside emergencies. The first aid kit should contain basics such as gauze, bandages, adhesive tape, antibiotic ointment, scissors, instant ice pack, instant heat compress, and aspirin or other pain reliever.

    Your auto roadside kit should also include a flashlight with extra batteries, emergency flares, pen and paper, and a help sign to place in the window for passing vehicles to see in case you are stranded inside the vehicle. Flat tires are one of the leading causes for roadside emergencies. Every vehicle should be equipped with tools necessary to change a tire - and, every driver should learn how to change a tire before driving. Be sure to have a spare tire, vehicle jack, tire pressure gauge, and lug wrench. Another handy item to have available is a small air compressor for inflating flat tires. If the tire is not completely flat, you may be able to inflate the tire enough to get to a service station.

    Flat tires are not the only thing that is going to strand you. Emergency kits can also have the tools that will allow you to perform basic repairs also. Screwdrivers are important along with vise grips, pliers, an adjustable wrench, a multipurpose tool and a pocketknife. There are other things that can come in handy also. Fluids that your vehicle uses may be included also. Oil, windshield washer fluid and antifreeze are common things that are used. In the winter, it is necessary to have an ice scraper and a snow brush. Paper towels or rags along with duct tape are good things to have available to you also.

    Because we live in an economy that is fast-paced, a lot of people travel. Some people may have a long drive to work or maybe you just want to take a drive. Either way it is good to be prepared. Emergency kits may eliminate some of the time that you will be stranded. It is important that you are prepared for this situation. You also need to know how to use the things in your kit.
