WHY YOU NEED A FIRST AID KIT
Take a moment to think about how far you are from your car at any given moment . Most people use their car to get around , whether that be for work , the store , or vacation . So , how useful would keeping a first aid kit in your car be ? Many people will have a single first aid kit they keep at home , but you can ’ t access that kit if you leave the house . On the other hand , if you drove to work and needed your kit , you could just run outside and grab it .
YOU ’ RE DRIVING A DEATH TRAP
Not enough people realize that when they get into their car , they ’ re about to drive a giant metal death trap that weighs several tons at insane speeds . Despite all the impressive safety features installed in the latest models , those features aren ’ t infallible and can ’ t always account for user or outside interference . So besides reevaluating your driving habits , the best thing you can do to help yourself is keep an IFAK in your car . Thousands of car accidents happen every day , so you never know when you or someone you come across may need it !
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN OR WHERE AN EMERGENCY WILL HAPPEN
Car accidents aren ’ t the only bad thing that could happen . Not to be paranoid , but everything from a paper cut to a natural disaster could happen while you ’ re out and about . It ’ s a crazy world out there , and since I ’ ve yet to meet anyone with precognition , you need to be prepared . While most injuries you encounter likely won ’ t need more than a bandaid , what if you do need something more heavy-duty ? Don ’ t leave your life up to chance ; keep a first aid kit on hand !
