Here are some essential items that will always come in handy when in your car:

1. Jump cables

If you leave a light on all night by accident and end up with a battery, you’ll require a jump start to get it back on the road.

2. Tyre foam

Is your tyre flat? Is there no spare? This will assist you in returning home by sealing any punctures. Simply squirt the foam into the tyre and slowly drive it to a repair shop.

6. Screenwash

For obvious reasons, it’s critical to keep your screen wash reservoir full. The reason for this is that you need to be able to see where you’re going.
