There are a number of scenarios where drivers can find themselves stranded, wishing they had a screwdriver, extra belt, hose or fuse.  Too many drivers rely on cell phones to call for help, but what if you are stranded out of cell range on a road less traveled.  An emergency vehicle kit can be the difference between being back on the road, even if it is a temporary fix, and being stranded for a period of time.  A trunk or backseat full of tools is not necessary, but a small bag, tote or box with a few tools, spare parts, first aid kit, food and water could be life saving in the event of an emergency.  Surprisingly, few people carry a kit in their vehicle.  Below is a list of items that can be included in an emergency:

 
• Jumper Cables
• Roadside Flares
• Two Quarts of Oil
• One Gallon of Antifreeze
• First Aid Kit
• Blanket
• Extra Fuses
• Flashlight and Extra Batteries
• Flat Head and Phillips Screwdrivers
• Phillips head screwdrivers
• Pliers
• Vise Grips
• Adjustable Wrench

The items listed are suggestions for an emergency vehicle kit.  Ideally, all of the items above should be carried and more, but having most of the key items listed above would help get you back on the road in the event of an emergency.
