Think of the safety items that you require in your car. What springs to mind? Airbags? Seatbelts? Of course they do, and rightly so. Those are some of the most important safety features in any car. How would you react though if we were to tell you that there are a few safety objects that are almost as important in terms of safety as airbags and seatbelts and yet majority of the drivers forget to carry them in the car? Well, there are in fact a few such items that a lot, if not all of the drivers do not consider a part of the required safety checklist. Sometimes if not for deliberate ignorance, simple forgetfulness will bring you down in situations where you require certain items and you forget to pack them.
