Car Accessories to Help You in an Emergency
Cars today seem so reliable that those old jokes about breakdowns (Found On the Road Dead or Fix It Again, Tony) feel like something from a bygone era. But with the rise in extreme weather, long lists of recalls, and just plain old bad luck, motorists can still find themselves stuck on the road and on their own.
“You never know if your vehicle is going to become disabled or even if you’re going to be in a traffic jam and you’re stuck there with no place to go,” says AAA’s David Bennett, senior automotive manager.
Approximately 1 out of 3 drivers will experience a car breakdown in the U.S., according to the car software company Agero. Even worse, over 700 drivers are killed annually while trying to deal with a mechanical issue on the road. So having the right emergency gear in your car could not only save you time, it could also save your life.
