A small emergency kit in the boot can turn a stressful breakdown into a manageable one — and it doesn’t need to cost much or take up much space.
The essentials
A torch, a hi-vis vest, a warning triangle, and a phone charger cover most of what you’ll actually need while you wait for help. Add a bottle of water and a blanket if you have space — useful any time of year in the UK.
