Many [CITY] drivers have chosen to create the own emergency roadside kits. Tackling this task on your own can be a Herculean effort. After all, there are a number of essentials that every good kit should include. At La Quinta Cadillac, we want to stress the importance of two items that are frequently overlooked.
A Working Fire Extinguisher
Although you hope to never need one, a fire extinguisher can definitely come in handy when automotive fires start. Not having one could mean the difference between dealing with a small event that causes minor damages and facing an escalating problem that could prove life-ending. Not only should your roadside kit include a fire extinguisher, but depending upon the type you store, this unit should be recharged once every three to five years.
An Auto Escape Tool
In the event of a serious accident, having auto escape tools handy may prove important. These include window breakers and seat belt cutters. In water submersion accidents, both of these items can greatly increase everyone's chances of escaping unharmed.
Building a comprehensive emergency roadside kit isn't always easy. Even seemingly minor items can have a tremendous impact on driver and passenger safety. Fortunately, at La Quinta Cadillac, we stock a vast range of roadside accessories as well as a number of all-inclusive, ready-made roadside kits.
