No one wants to get stuck on a deserted roadside, but that scenario can happen to you. If it does, it's wise to be prepared with an emergency roadside kit. Every vehicle should have a minimum number of items to keep you safe in the event that you are stranded for a long period.

Make sure your kit has the following items. These include a flashlight, jumper cables, a tire gauge, a can of Fix-a-Flat, triangle reflectors and roadside fares, and more.
