Our vehicles require constant restoration throughout time. Having the parts checked up once in a while such as its engine, wipers, exhaust, just to name a few, are the parts we need to change. If the exhaust needs to change, consider getting a universal muffler if required. To add to this, traffic is another issue we do not have control over. We can, however, enjoy our time during traffic once we get these car essentials during traffic.
Drinking water
Water is an essential requirement in our lives because we could not live without it. Traffic may last for hours and drain our energy overall. Water can help dehydrate the body and energize it, so always bring water every time you go out on the road to freshen up. It’s strongly recommended to use metal or sun-protected tumblers so the water inside will not lose its quality.
Stocked food
Aside from water, stock up on food to bring in your car such as chips, chocolates, food bars, and sandwiches, basically finger foods are enough to pack up in your car. This will surely entertain you along the way especially when you’re hungry and you’re in the rush with no nearby restaurant or convenience store.
Chargers
Nowadays, the use of cellphones is already considered as part of our culture already. It’s important for us to have our phones charged all the time so bring a phone charger that can be attached to the car. If you have your power bank with you, make sure its battery is also full all the time. We can pretty much do a lot with our phones, right? Just don’t use your phone when you’re driving or you might get caught in any unwanted trouble out there.
Flashlight
We can never prevent any unfortunate instance from happening; it would be harder if something bad happens during the night. Best prepare yourself by bringing a flashlight inside your car all the time to see well during the night. It is also helpful if ever you lose something inside your car to easily find what you’re looking for.
First aid kit
If you or someone in the car gets injured, it’s critically important to have inside your car a first aid kit with all the basic and required medical equipment needed. Ready up some pain relievers, gauze, bandages, sterile pad, soap, band aid, micropore tape, betadine, safety pins, and tissues.
Umbrellas or rain protection
In this rainy season, it’s important to bring umbrellas or any kind of rain protection in your car all the time. Once your head gets poured on by rainwater, you can easily get sick.
Jumper cables
The engine of a car may get broken once in a while. Put on the back part of the car some jumper cables to jump start the engine. Remember that it should be around 10 feet long with about 8 gauge rubber.
Make sure you prepare these car essentials all the time to be ready for anything that might occur.
