It is always better to be proactive and be equipped for any incident that may occur on the road
Christmas 2021 will be for many people the first important celebration after the pandemic.
If Covid-19 gives us a truce And neither the number of infections nor the hospital pressure increases too much, this year there will be numerous trips by road to attend family celebrations. In addition, it must be taken into account that this year the key dates, such as
Christmas Eve or New Years Eve they coincide on the weekend.
Therefore, in addition to carrying out the always recommended basic reviews of the car and
equip winter tires or chains, It is convenient to take into account some elements that, if there is a problem on the road, can be very useful.
As recommended from
Acierto.com, beyond the specific driving advice, during winter (or during colder times) it is advisable to carry in the car
a winter kit composed of the following elements:
Water: to stay hydrated if we have a breakdown or accident that immobilizes our vehicle.
Energy bars, nuts or similar: It is about having energy foods on hand that do not take up space and that compensate for the loss of calories generated by the cold.
Warm clothes and blankets: ideally that allow you to handle the different tools of the car well. To comfortably change a wheel, for example, or fit the chains.
Snow chains: if winter tires are not available. It is essential that they are in good condition.
Glass scraper: to remove ice and snow from windshield wipers, mirrors, etc.
Shovel: small in size, to unblock the car’s wheels.
Mobile charger and external battery.
De-icer: Specific products to remove the most curdled ice and defrost blocked locks.
Battery cables: as the data reveals, it is one of the most affected elements. All the more reason to carry some boot pliers too.
Lantern: In winter it gets dark earlier and with darkness everything gets complicated.
