7 Things You Should Have in Your Car

-->

            Ok, as an individual who enjoys a tidy workspace, I can understand why you wouldn’t want to be compared to the vehicle equivalent of the individuals on the TV show: “Hoarders.”  We also want you to keep safe while you make your daily commute, so we’re feeling a bit conflicted.  In most cases, your vehicle is well equipped with the necessary tools to run smoothly.  In today’s blog, with help from The Simple Dollar, we provide a list of some extra essentials that could aid you daily.
1.    Owner’s manual This should naturally be in your glove compartment anyway, but you want to make sure that it is indeed in your car.
2.    Maps Keep a detailed map of the state you’re in in your car at all times – or even a current atlas if you have room. Don’t completely rely on a GPS navigation system.
3.    First aid kit (and manual) This can be vital if you’re in an accident and someone has injuries. Slowing down bleeding quickly can mean the difference between walking something off and going into shock.
4.    Flashlight (and extra batteries) Similarly, a flashlight is utterly essential at night if you need to change a tire.
5.    Bottled water This is necessary for sustenance if you get stuck somewhere and have to wait for a while.
6.    Food! Non-perishables, need we say more?
7.    Umbrella stay dry, my friends.
