You can't drive without them: what every driver should have in their trunk.

Ukrainian drivers have been told about five things that must be in a car

As reported by 'Hvylya', this is stated by Avtopilot.

A car provides us with comfort, the ability to move quickly, and a sense of independence. However, any, even the highest quality equipment can break down at the most inconvenient moment. Therefore, experienced drivers prepare in advance and take with them the necessary items that will help in emergencies. It is important to understand that this is not only about convenience but also about protecting the life and health of both the driver and other road users.

The necessary minimum: what every car must have

• Emergency triangle. This is not just a formal requirement, but also a practical safety tool. An accurately placed triangle behind the car warns other drivers about danger and helps avoid accidents.

• Reflective vest. In the dark or in poor visibility, such a vest increases visibility on the road. If you need to leave the vehicle, this will become a key means of protection.
• First aid kit. Having a full first aid kit is a mandatory requirement for any car. It should contain sterile materials for bandaging, disinfectants, adhesive bandages, scissors, pain relief medications, and, if possible, a tourniquet to stop bleeding.
• Jack and spare tire. Tire problems are one of the most common reasons for stops on the road. With the necessary tools and a spare tire, you can quickly resolve the issue yourself without waiting for outside assistance.
• Towing rope. It will help not only in case of your car breakdown but also if you need to assist another driver. This is a manifestation of mutual assistance and responsible behavior on the road.

Additional items for the summer season

• Insect repellent - necessary during trips to nature or the city.
• Sun cream - even a short exposure to the sun can negatively affect the skin.
• Additional water tank - useful for quenching thirst and cooling the engine in case of an accident.
• Headgear - a cap or a sun hat will help avoid overheating if you have to work outdoors.

A well-equipped car is a demonstration of caution, not extravagance. Many drivers underestimate the importance of such basic items, although they can make a significant difference on the road. If your vehicle doesn't have such a set yet - it's worth starting to gather it right now.

Let us remind you what threatens Ukrainian drivers under the new rules.
