What Must Be in a Car?

Essential items in a vehicle include a triangular warning sign and a driver's license. Other items and their functions are as follows: 1. Parking sensors: Avoid collisions. With the increasing number of cars and new drivers, minor accidents have become more frequent. Many car owners install parking sensors after purchasing a vehicle. The most common types are 4-sensor systems mounted on the rear bumper and 6-sensor systems (2 front, 4 rear). 2. GPS navigation: Avoid getting lost. A great helper for those who are directionally challenged. Many people think only high-end imported cars come with GPS navigation, but in reality, many car enthusiasts and those who frequently travel or work out of town find GPS navigation indispensable. The GPS navigation system, typically installed in front of the driver’s seat like an in-car DVD player, provides voice prompts to guide the driver to the destination via the fastest or shortest route. Window tinting: Blocks UV rays, prevents direct sunlight from entering the car, and enhances privacy. Experts recommend new car owners opt for explosion-proof film. This type of film offers excellent visibility, ensuring clarity when looking out from inside the car, regardless of the tint’s darkness, and maintains good visibility during nighttime and rainy conditions. When choosing explosion-proof film, consider clarity, transparency, and heat insulation effectiveness.

I believe that a car must be equipped with basic safety devices to ensure driving safety. First and foremost is the seat belt, which should be fastened as soon as you get in the car—it is the lifeline for everyone. Secondly, the warning triangle is essential; in case the car breaks down on the road, placing it 50 meters behind the vehicle allows other drivers to avoid it in time, preventing secondary accidents. I also keep a small first aid kit in my car, containing band-aids and bandages to handle minor injuries. Additionally, reflective vests are legally required in some areas, improving visibility when doing repairs at night. Car lights must also be kept in working order, and using headlights during the day increases recognition. Regularly checking that these items are complete and functional can reduce the risk of accidents.

As a regular car owner who often travels with family, it's essential to have practical daily necessities in the car. A child safety seat is a must, especially when traveling with kids, as it provides impact protection and ensures safety. I always keep a phone charger or power bank handy to avoid communication breakdowns or navigation failures due to a dead phone. Navigation devices or map apps are also crucial, especially in unfamiliar areas to prevent getting lost. Additionally, I carry small items like wet wipes and bottled water for quick cleanups and hydration. In winter, adding an ice scraper helps clear snow from the windshield. While these items aren't luxurious, they significantly enhance convenience and safety—don't wait until an emergency to realize their importance.

Driving requires carrying mandatory items, otherwise you may get a ticket. My experience is: always keep your driver's license and vehicle registration in the car, as traffic police will ask to see them during inspections. The warning triangle is the most common mandatory tool - place it properly during breakdowns to prevent collisions. Additionally, some regions require first aid kits or medical supplies, so I keep basic band-aids and alcohol swabs. Headlight switches must function properly, otherwise night driving becomes dangerous. Seat belts must be worn by all occupants. Regular maintenance like tire pressure checks is also crucial. Ensuring all items are in good condition is key - never overlook these small details.
