Whether it’s after an auto accident or when your car battery dies, getting stuck on the side of the road is never a pleasent experience. It’s a little easier to deal with being on the side of the road if you’re in a populated area like Salt Lake City, but if you get stuck and you’re on a road in the middle of nowhere, you run the risk of not getting help for hours.
But having an emergency kit packed in your car will make being stuck on the side of the road a little easier to handle and much less dangerous.
