At Dallas Collision Center, we want to help drivers in the area stay safer on the roads. That is why we recommend that everyone in Dallas has a roadside emergency kit. Taking a few minutes to gather some supplies can make a big difference if something unexpected happens.
Having a proper container to put your kit in is the first step. If your vehicle has space, a storage tote works nicely. Otherwise, find a durable and waterproof bag to work with. Start by putting in things like a flashlight, jumper cables, and roadside flares or glow sticks.
If you are stranded for any length of time, you will want to have water and snacks handy. Be sure to choose non-perishable snacks so that you do not have to worry about replacing them often. In the winter, add a blanket, gloves, and a hat to protect yourself from the elements.
