Every Car Should Have One of These $18 Emergency Kits – CNET [CNET]
Having one of these Goodyear premium emergency kits stowed under the seat could make all the difference in case you slide off the road or get into an accident. There’s two traction mats to help you get unstuck from mud or ice, and a tow strap with a 10,000-pound capacity in case you need some serious assistance. It also includes an LED flashlight with a head strap for hands-free use, and a reflective cone to make you more visible and help warn oncoming traffic. And drivers from cold climates will appreciate the emergency snow shovel, ice scraper, snow brush and emergency blanket that come with this kit as well. You’ll also get a pair of 8-foot jumper cables and a free year of roadside assistance from Goodyear for any other emergencies you may run into.
