What should be in the car?
If you have purchased a new vehicle, it’s important to know what to pay attention to. There are certain documents, materials, and equipment that should be present in the vehicle. For a private car, these include:
- Fire extinguisher
- Tow rope
- Chain
- Portable lamp
- Tool kit
- Reflector
- Lug wrench
- First aid kit
- Jack
However, the requirements for a non-private vehicle depend on the specific characteristics of the vehicle. For example, a bus traveling intercity must carry a spare tire, tachograph, fire extinguisher, and wheel chocks.
How to Organize the First Aid Kit?
The first aid kit, which is part of the list of items that should be in the car, should be prepared in a detailed and thorough manner. This way, necessary measures can be taken quickly in the case of an unfortunate accident. The main items in this list are:
- 2 Large (3-5 M X 10 Cm) Bandages
- 3 Triangular Bandages, Hydrophilic Cotton (1 Package)
- Hydrophilic Gauze Sterile (50 pieces, 1 Box)
- Antiseptic Solution (50 ml, 1 Box)
- 5m X 2cm Plaster (1 Piece)
- Safety Pins (10 Pieces)
- 1 Stainless Steel Scissors
- 50 Cm Fabric Tourniquet (1 Piece)
- Band-Aids (10 Pieces)
- Artificial Respiration Mask (1 Piece)
- Esmark Bandage (Elastic Bandage, 1 Piece)
- Tweezers
- Aluminum Burn Sheet (1 Piece)
- Pen
- Notepad
- LED Flashlight (1 Piece)
- Medical Gloves (2 Pairs)
These items apply to private cars as well.
What Should Be in a Private Car?
In private cars, the fire extinguisher should weigh 1 kilogram. It should also be placed in a location where the driver can easily access it. The reflector should be triangular in shape, with a reflective surface, and there should be at least two that can stand in an upright position.
The tool kit should include items like a screwdriver, pliers, and a hammer. All of these required items have specific functions.
Why Are the Items in the Car Important?
The items that must be carried in the car can sometimes be of vital importance. For example, if an accident occurs, people may need to administer first aid until the ambulance arrives. This will save time until health professionals arrive.
Timely assistance can reduce fatalities in accidents. Similarly, a fire extinguisher allows you to intervene quickly in a fire, thus minimizing property damage.
