10 items to have in a vehicle safety kit.

Having a vehicle safety kit is essential in case of an emergency while on the road. Here are 10 items that you should consider including in your vehicle safety kit:

1. First aid kit: A basic first aid kit should contain bandages, gauze, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and other essentials to treat minor injuries.
   
2. Jumper cables: Jumper cables can help you jumpstart your car if your battery dies.
   
3. Flashlight: A flashlight with extra batteries can be useful if you need to change a tire or check your engine in the dark.
   
4. Blanket: A warm blanket can provide comfort and warmth if you are stranded in cold weather.
   
5. Water: Keep a few bottles of water in your vehicle to stay hydrated in case of an emergency.
   
6. Non-perishable snacks: Granola bars, nuts, and other non-perishable snacks can help keep you fueled during an emergency.
   
7. Roadside flares or reflective triangles: These can help you signal for help and warn other drivers of your presence.
   
8. Multi-tool or knife: A multi-tool or knife can be useful for cutting seatbelts or breaking windows in case of an emergency.
   
9. Cell phone charger: Keep a cell phone charger in your vehicle to ensure that you can make calls or use your phone in case of an emergency.
   
10. Extra clothes: Keep a change of clothes, including a warm jacket, gloves, and hat, in case you get wet or need extra warmth.
    

Remember to periodically check and update your vehicle safety kit to make sure that all items are in good condition and up to date.  Some helpful tips from Hartford Towing
