Spring Festival drive home to prepare emergency kit

Not everyone can be as lucky as Liu Dawei. Sometimes, even when the weather isn't completely bad, you might still find yourself in a situation where your car's headlights are not working. Fortunately, there's a 4S shop just a short distance away. However, relying on luck is not always wise. To avoid being caught off guard, it's always a good idea to prepare a set of emergency tools before heading out. These items can come in handy during critical moments, especially when traveling long distances—such as during the Spring Festival, when journeys can stretch for hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.

First and foremost, make sure you have all the essential documents with you: your driver’s license, vehicle registration, insurance policy (or card), and a list of authorized 4S service centers in your area. Also, memorize the 24-hour roadside assistance number provided by your car manufacturer. It's important to check that you have the following emergency tools ready: collapsible warning signs with reflective features, a nylon tow rope, jumper cables, cotton gloves, a multi-functional flashlight, spare fuses, reflective vests, waterproof and electrical tape, an air pump, and more. Some tool kits on the market are customizable based on user needs, so choose one that fits your driving habits and environment.

Don’t think you’ll never need these items—accidents happen, and being prepared can save you time, money, and stress. In addition to the car-related tools, it's also wise to carry a basic first aid kit in case of any injuries or medical emergencies. Being proactive with your preparation can make a big difference when things go wrong on the road.
