Emergency Car Kit

Keep these six items in your trunk and you"ll be prepared for any kind of road trouble.
  1. Jumper Cables-They restart your battery. Learn which end goes where under the hood of your car at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_start_(vehicle)

  2. Flares-If you have to pull over, day or night, surround your car with light so other drivers can see you and avoid hitting you.

  3. Spare Tire-Watch a quick video on how to do it on: http://www.ehow.com/video_1863_change-flat-tire.html

  4. Camera-Have one on your phone or a disposable one in your car ready to take pictures in case you get into an accident.

  5. Cell Phone-So you can call for help wherever you are.

  6. Flashlight-Buy one that doesn't need batteries and that you shake for power like this one: http://theshakeflashlight.com/
