What’s in your glove compartment?

Have you looked in your glove compartment lately? Do you even know what’s in there?

I think the manual for my vehicle is in there & maybe some random receipts.

What should we be keeping in our glove compartment?

Here are some suggestions, from a mechanic :

1.  Flashlight

2.  Proof of insurance and registration

3.  Tire pressure gauge

4.  Mini first aid kit

5.  Pen and paper  (How old-fashioned!)

6.  A multi-tool:  It’s more than a Swiss Army knife.  It includes pliers, a screwdriver, and a small knife.

7.  Spare fuses:  It’s good to have back-ups in case one blows while on the road.  You can reference your vehicle’s manual if you don’t know how to replace it.

 

Listener suggestions include:

A candle of some sort should be in car. If the car stalls a simple candle can keep you warm. – Mike
