Ten Items To Pack In Your Car for Cold Weather

It’s always a good idea to plan ahead, even if you don’t expect there to be any issues. It’s just smart.

Here are a few things we suggest for you to keep in your car at all times.

  • Shovel
  • Icescraper
  • Gas can
  • Jumper cables
  • Flashlight
  • External battery charger
  • Spare tire
  • Air compressor
  • Road flares
  • Blankets

Feel free to add in your own items and be sure to call us if you’re ever in a lockout situation.

What To Do When You Break Down on a Highway

We’ve all been there and if you haven’t, the odds are pretty good it’ll happen to you in the future. We’re talking about breaking down on the side of a highway, or really any road for that matter. While it’s frustrating and can really throw a wrench into your day, don’t fear! The best thing to do is to keep calm and realize you may be there for a little while. Here are some tips to help you out the next time it happens to you.

First thing’s first, if you know that your breakdown is beyond something that you can handle yourself (a flat tire for instance, be sure to call for help right away.

Don’t flag down other vehicles for assistance. While it may seem like a good thing to do, you want to be able to rely on professionals to help you.

Don’t stand behind or next to your vehicle. It’s a worse case scenario, but if another vehicle hits yours, it could be disastrous if you’re standing nearby.

Use flares, if you have them, or road signs, again if you have them. If you’re fresh out of those items, be sure to stock up before your next trip. In a pinch, a white shirt will do and it notifies police officers or tow truck drivers that help is needed.

Be patient! Depending on where you broke down, it could take some time for help to get to you. The best thing for you to do is stay calm until it arrives.

If you’re stranded because you locked your keys in your car, be sure to call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith in the Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton areas of the Lehigh Valley: (484) 891-1922.

8 Items To Keep In Your Car in Case You Break Down

Of course, getting locked out of your car isn’t the only worry you have when you’re out on the road and away from home. Breaking down, especially in inclement weather, can sometimes turn into a life or death situation.

Here are some times to make sure you keep in your car in case you find yourself in a sticky situation.

1. First Aid Kit:

This should probably be one of the first things you pack in your glove box or trunk. Having a first aid kit is important, as is making sure that the items inside are not expired.

2. Flashlight: You know what? Keep an extra flashlight everywhere you go, include your office and basement.

3. Water Bottles: Who says bottled water is silly? Having water on hand in an emergency is invaluable and inexpensive. Grab an extra case and pack it away.

4. Snacks: No, we’re not talking Cheetohs, but I guess you could pack them in there if you wanted to. Pack away protein bars, nuts, seeds, cereals, dried fruit and even some jerky. These foods last a long time and can help you out in an emergency.

5. Spare Tire: And know how to change it. If you’re unsure, ask someone to help you learn how or simply use YouTube.

6. Jumper Cables: It seems like less and less people carry these with them nowadays. Change that trend.

7. Gloves and Warm Clothing: Even pack a few blankets for extra measure.

8. Flares: Breaking down at night on the side of a highway can be a dangerous situation made less so with the use of roadside flares.

And, as always, if you find yourself in a lockout situation, be sure to contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith in the Lehigh Valley. We’ll be there to help! (484) 891-1922.
