No one sets out on their drive to work or quick trip to the grocery store thinking that they may be involved in an accident, have a mechanical breakdown, or suffer some medical calamity. However, the reality is that at least one of these incidents will happen to us at least once in our lifetime. That's why it's best to be prepared for when it does. While you cannot possibly prepare for every situation that may come up while you're in your vehicle, you can protect yourself and your loved ones better if you have an emergency car kit.
