As the weather starts to take a turn for the worse, from torrential rain to dipping temperatures, it sadly means that traffic delays and disruptions on the roads are highly likely. Best case scenario you’re a little late, but worse case you could be stranded in your car for a while, potentially for a few hours – or more. You could be lucky and are able to secure your car and take alternative travel, but you may also have no other option that to wait inside the car.
Ensuring that your car is packed with essentials during winter is a top priority, but it is also worth keeping these items in your car all year round as disruptions can happen at any time. To get your travel survival kit started, here are 10 things you should keep in your car, just in case!
Of course, if the weather conditions are severe, we would recommend not driving altogether but sometimes this is unavoidable and conditions can worsen as you set out on your journey. Always try to tell someone what time you are travelling and when you expect to arrive. This will alert them should you encounter any difficulties. You can also make sure your car is prepared for the winter by checking your tyres, topping up your oil and getting it serviced.
