Here’s what you need to stay safe if you find yourself stranded:
A bottle of water might seem simple, but it’s a non-negotiable according to Scotty.
Staying hydrated is vital if you’re stuck waiting for help in freezing conditions.
At just 9p, it’s a no-brainer addition to your kit.
A warm blanket is another cheap but vital addition to your boot.
Breaking down in winter weather means exposure to freezing temperatures, and staying warm is crucial.
A third must have is a battery jumper gadget, which can help you start your car if the battery dies.
Many modules also double as a phone charger, ensuring you can call for help even if your phone battery is running low.
